Under the Shadow of the Crane - Rochester Riverside Phase 3 Public Art

By  Christopher Tipping 2020 - 2022

IP Surfaces

Rochester Riverside Phase 3 Public Art is now in manufacture and due for installation in July 2022. My work forms part of a landscape and public realm scheme by the landscape architects LUC and the public art is managed by FrancisKnight. Artwork in granite, glazed ceramic and cast iron create interventions employing text and patterns evocative of both heritage and recalled memories of the site, its industry and community. Barge Making, Ironworks and local geography are all referenced, along with marker gardening and landscape use.
