I would say that this piece is a twin to By the Sacramento River, and my comments would be much the same, only this time the area around the river is dry and brown. Despite the tap/pump affair, the river doesn't appear to be able to cope. In fact, the river itself looks tortured, not flowing but spiky, half blue and half grey (pollution/mud?). In my opinion the composition of this piece is very effective. Putting the formidable lump of plumbing apparatus at the centre of the work creates a very worrying effect, especially since it seems to have a mechanical face, lookingvstraight at the viewer through a kind-of staring eye.

I like it. This technique is coming out very nice.
