The image of where I started conceptually (see below). The sculpture/image dialog between flume & flow seems like it should be fairly simple and direct…and to that end, a singular iconic flowing image seems appropriate (also probably a bit easier to photographically set up and achieve as a single image that could be cut into 4-5 panels…though it would be a HUGE image, digitally speaking).
The main requirements here are having the water images fill the panels as a blue color field. So there’ll be no white background within the border. I think I’d also steer clear of ice (though other states such as the examples provided…droplets, waves, turbulence, etc & gradations of blueness could be interesting). Otherwise it would be interesting to explore the possibilities involved with ‘personalities or portraits of water’ as a set of 4 images of water in various states. It would be great if there were also a deeper subtext as it relates to water treatment, the historic water flume, purity of water, water as life, etc. Particularly if it wove as a visual narrative in a non-literal iconic minimalistic way. On the other hand, it could just overburden the elegance of the basic idea.
