Abstract sculpture in riveted sheet steel, the 'Reservoir' is the vat form below, emerging from the ground. The upper tap is like a bird or opening leaf, as if spinning off its base, with a sense of growth or movement. Purchased in 2011 with the help of a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions by the University of Stirling Art Collection, and sited in the campus grounds.
