Commissioned by John Holland and the Eurobodalla Shire Council ‘Tides’ is a creative repurposing of heritage listed steel recycled from the historic Batemans Bay bridge.
The sculpture utlises two structural nodes as the base of the work, relatively unchanged from their original form. As the eye moves further up the work, segments of steel welded at varying angles and distances apart spiral and twist to form 3 curved arches floating above the viewer.
