Thinking about 'essential gestures' as it relates to concept and site.
Piece needs more scale and presence along South 74th. More linear. More stones. More flume-like.
Thinking of ways to recreate a sense of flume in stone. Could make it as a construct of multiple stones laid with mortar (but then there's issues with long-term maintenance related to crumbling mortar).

Imagining a flume-like v-cut running straight through several aligned stones. Large igneous boulders warmed by south-facing surfaces could provide informal seating/lounging. Possible polished cut surface could reinforce a water feeling with reflected sky and clouds.
Technical and budgetary issues with this exact approach, but it provides an opening to other solutions...
