The Installation and Sculptures
Ida M. Kleiterp's first clay models were an interpretation of the nodes, water reservoirs, channels and gates of the original acequias channels. Eventually four basic forms emerged which have been reproduced repeatedly in materials such as bronze, glass, iron, plaster, paper and clay.
