anemone form
I suppose it is based on an anemone, but the thing is when you design these things the function does dictate the form. Can be a bit of a limitation when you try and push the envelope. If I was to just think of the best way to assemble pieces of slate that would enable water to flow slowly and evenly over a form, it would most likely resemble some kind of botanical/marine creature.
Funny that. Always intrigues me how a machine for busting up concrete looks the way a machine for busting up concrete should look.

Urchin form
Transport
old one
This was the third fountain I made, I was wondering how far I could push it in this. Loosely based on banksia seed heads with a little bit of samurai helmets thrown in. I was also thinking of Walter Burley Griffin.....not that you'd know it, but I was! Trouble with it is it is quite fragile. Fine once in position, but transporting these things can be touchy.
