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.

Barge Making, Ironworks and local geography are all referenced, along with marker gardening and landscape use.
