• This work beside the River Nith is located around 450 metres northeast of the zig-zag bridge. Its planform consists of two mirrored triangles of boulders, repurposed from nearby breakwaters or ‘croys’ that were intended, but failed, to act as resting pools for salmon travelling upstream. The two triangles are bisected by an avenue of boulders aligned on a northwest axis toward the sunrise over the distant hills. There are also angled turf mounds designed to offset the shapes created by the boulders.
