Two green oak land anchors and four floating bronze casts - a place to wait for the arrival of an alluvial land bridge growing across the loch from the opposite shore, a process begun following the last ice age and that may take another 10,000 years to complete. Cast in bronze from the material at the furthest point of the growing land bridge, the floats appear as small islands of land waiting for new land to come and fill in around them.
