"Go With The Flow" functional sculpture

All of my artistic efforts for the months of June and July were focused entirely on the functional sculpture "Go with the Flow".
It started with a 4,000 lb piece of scrap from another functional sculpture called "One Way or Another".
Here, I've almost finished cutting the serpentine top and have started on one end.
At this point, the top is finished and both ends are almost carved.  You can see the design on the side.
Then began the long and arduous task of carving the 2 long sides.
Here's a finished view.
...and walking around the piece...
It is Indiana Limestone, and measures approx. 5' long by 2' high x 2' deep.
This sculpture is actually a test piece for proposing an installation of several of these type of elements throughout a public space.  Each element would be different but would lead one piece to another and to another etc.

I don't know if this will actually ever happen - these are crazy times....
