Three linked public, ‘permanent’ artworks made with and for the Forth and Clyde Canal, Glasgow, commissioned by Scottish Canals and Glasgow Sculpture Studio. In collaboration with Neil McGuire.
THEN/NOW: Lettering carved into opposite walls of the canal, marking its past and present water levels.
Displacement: Seven cast-iron ingots commemorating a barge-pulling event in July 2015, set into the stonework that edges the canal bank.
Reservoir: Nine granite blocks, each with a miniature reservoir carved into its upper face. The reservoirs supply, or supplied, water for the canal.
