mountain pool

reinforced concrete and brass.

The mountain pool series of swim
troughs are based on the premise
that the loveliest tropical pools
have a crispness about them, a
quick chill upon entry followed by
balmly cool barely edging cold.

The raw concrete inner walls and
bases of each trough are formcast
from raw or smooth joined timber
planks and sheets for the effect of
textures born of mountains rivers
and mining pools, The shade of
trees over a third of surface water
makes for brisk pools of sunlight
and the collective effect of fallen
leaves, streamlike and translucent
green-grey. Together with clipped
concrete edges adjacent to the
deep patina of age of submerged
brass escutcheons, the mountain
pool attempts to recall what we
most miss of our childhood, a
time before making-do gave way
to making money and hankering
for high gloss and glass pool tiles.
