Ekkhard Altenburger’s The Thames Stone and Negative Fall is a dramatic embedded water sculpture. It visually links Clare Wood’s etching, the locks and weirs, the River Thames and the surrounding architecture at the Grosvenor Waterside development. The sculpture deploys Angola black granite meticulously carved in Portugal and was completed in 2009.
