The work is situated on the approach road on the outskirts of Wrexham. The landscape is situated between two hills – on one stands the grand church of Saint Silyn, opposite stands the imposing limestone frontage of Ysgol Sant Silyn. The artists brief was to create an artwork on a curved piece of land, falling gradually from the roadside to the banks of the River Gwenfro, which is by now channelled into a wide culvert. Following a national competition, Richard Harris was commissioned to undertake the work. The artist proposed siting part of the work on the original site, with an extra section situated on the opposite side of the road. In addition, the 'Two Rivers' proposal included the River Gwenfro as an integral part of the work. The Environment Agency granted permission to cut and shape part of the riverbank, to create a shallow pool containing substantial boulders roughly positioned in the shape of a semicircle.
