Art critic Skye Sherwin writes of the public commission:
Wilding’s signature diamond lozenge forms quietly invert the thrusting tendency of memorial cenotaphs. Like mountains emerging from a pool of concrete, its surface mimics water’s movement. Between solidity and liquid, it suggests a transformative cycle.
Still Water is located in the UK's National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
