Made up of three different ball sizes representing water, cement and gravel the three balls follow various paths mixing in the cement mixer before re-starting their journey.
Water balls come from a 'waterfall' at the back of the sculpture. Cement balls comeout of the cement plant. Gravel balls follow a path from the gravel truck and enter into the mixing operation.
One could imagine that the balls were once a differnt colour matching the ingredients that make up the operation. Being of differnt size allows the balls to stay sorted into the various paths of the sculpture.
Lots to watch and it's easy to spend 20 minutes here following the balls.
