Client : Elga Water Supplies (now named Elga Labwater)

Current Status : Confirmed it is still on the wall in October 2014.
We were commissioned by Elga, a company that purifies water, to make a series of panels to decorate the outside wall of their new offices and laboratories in Buckinghamshire. The panels were to incorporate their whale logo and needed to carry well when read from a distance. The whales are seen against a background of formally patterned water and the repeating panels were made with our process using flexible moulds.
