An abstract relief sculpture made out of rectangular planar shapes overlapping and at right angles to each other, attached to wall. Painted blue and white to match colour scheme of building, the architect of the building Vernon Crofts felt it would provide a 'focal point of considerable interest, which, whilst acting as a foil to the precise geometric lines of the building, will not prove discordant with the development as a whole'. Crofts stated that they felt strongly about the sculpture and that it was a work of considerable artistic merit.
