Creates a nice contemplative space along Elizabeth Walk. The granite blocks are nicely mute and powerful, with the strange code of the voids in their surface. It is impossible to really see the curve of the corten steel from the main vantage points (and not much easier to see when up close it must be said), but they work to frame the blocks. The details of the setting are not great, not least the placement of a trash can right next to the label on my visit in late 2020.
