This is a piece based on the infamous Head of the Charles, though I think scullers at any major head race can relate. When there are spotlights above, the wood grain shows through the blue panel, giving a slight suggestion of waves. The rowers cast shadows on the wood panel, too. First shown at the Rhythm & Energy show in 2012.
