A small sign for this art work was glued to the sidewalk on the other side of the hedge from the sculpture. So by walking on the lawn for a close look, one might miss this identifier. The sign read:

David Nash
Stream Of Vessels, 1992
Charred Oak

(2 of 7) Some were raised on posts, while other lay flat on the grass. The effect was to make them appear as if subject to rapids.

(4 of 7) The ends showed signs of splitting and cracking. One might expect this condition to continue because the art was subject to exterior conditions.
