Seeking a fountain that would provide an inspiring focal point for a recently renovated yard and also help "combat the din of city noise and stifling triple-digit heat," Eric Bohm found it in Convolution.
The fountain rises up out of the ground, a graceful, slender spiral reaching for the sky, with the yard wrapped around it. Magically, the water flows from the top, down the spiral, tripping over the surface's cross-hatched ribs, and down into the earth with a pleasant and gentle tone.
"We absolutely love our fountain! It really completes the back yard, and even the inside of the house, since the sound carries into the house, which is in an 'L' around it. Of course, I've relocated my chair for optimum effect and viewing pleasure. As I mentioned at the beginning of our interest, the goal of the makeover of our yard was to open it up, and lift the eyes upward to the big, open sky from our smallish, California yard. Following Convolution's lines definitely completes that effect, from anywhere in the yard or house. A lesser sculpture would have fallen short. Thanks again for everything. We couldn't be more happy with Convolution."
