The
"Beckoning Cistern" is the next implementation of the
Growing Vine Street project. The galvanized aluminum cistern collects
roof water from the 81 Vine Street building. Water is directed from
the roof via downspout then through the extended index finger of
an outstreched hand and into the 6' x 10' tank "cuff"
before eventually making its way down Vine Street to the Cistern
Steps.The gesture of the outstreaching finger suggests that of the
Creation of Adam by Michelangelo from the Sistine Chapel
in Rome. |
