shred or amass?

how much gathers in the downslide?

Richard Serra describes in his installation Every Which Way:

‘It’s always there, not here. Even when you’re right up against it, it always evades you, … like [being in the midst of a] city, Every Which Way forces you to make countersteps, twists, & turns continuously.’

Does the plethora of ‘way’ (every which) nullify a ‘way,’ a definitive direction, a path?
Do Serra’s vertical plates exert as much downward pressure as upward manifestation, are they as much about prairie as city?
