Fragments of glass sandblasted with linear patterns are attached behind a floor-to-ceiling open metal grid. Although the arrangement seems random, the fragments would form a rectangle if joined together.
The drawings on the glass derive from the artist's interest in geometry, mythology, and 'a good line'. The organic disorder of the fragments contrasts with the rigid order of the grid.
Commissioned by Scottish Metropolitan through Michael Grimes of Art for Interiors. The architects were Campbell and Arnott. The artist Danny Lane proposed an artwork suspended from the existing ironwork of the atrium.
