    This impressive sculpture by Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion in John O’Groats features three large boulders on curved steel ribs, inspired by the boulders that roll across the seabed in the powerful currents of the Pentland Firth. The installation references the power of nature, the sea and the history of whales and ships in these waters. A poetic tribute to an invisible natural phenomenon.
