Thornton Heath
Roundabout
Pond
The new ‘pond’ is created of
polished black granite. A petrfified giant carp is etched
into the surface, to define a pedestrian route across
the roundabout. A ‘splash’ from the fish’s
tail is frozen into a vitreous sculpture. Bronze leaves
are positioned as if floating on the granite surface, and water
flowing over glass ‘dew drops’ enhances
this poetic new space.
