The six modular pieces of this sculpture could have been arranged in any configuration and could be used in many ways—as a room divider, a fountain, a pipe concealer, or garden sculpture. According to the artist, these six modules were the first pieces out of his mold and were always displayed in his own garden. The molds were soon sold to the company Architectural Pottery, which put the design into production.
