Contaminated Container
This work represents the endless flow of acid mine drainage water coming out of the abandoned underground coal mines in Athens County into Sunday Creek. Like Sunday Creek, this vessel contains the contaminated water, stopping it from spilling out everywhere. But no matter is done, the water is still flowing and coming up from the ground. It cannot be stopped, only contained.
This vessel gets its color from the combination of iron oxide and other dissolved heavy metals it is coated in, directly from the acid mine drainage in Sunday Creek.
