"Tied to Tide" is a kinetic artwork on the foreshore of Pyrmont Point Park, in the inner west suburb of Pyrmont. It is located along the boardwalk beside Johnstons Bay and was created by Jennifer Turpin and Michaelie Crawford in 1999. It is described as an ‘aquatic instrument’ involving eight identical arms of recycled hardwood beams and red ladders which are ‘played’ by the winds, tides and waves to independently rise, fall, pivot and rotate.
Interesting, but not all that eye catching? Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it doesn't come across so spectacular in a photo but when the arms are gently bobbing up and down, it does attract your attention.
DeleteReally unique, must be interesting to see in the winds and weaves.

ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful installation Jim, but it can't compete with the bridge in the background :)
ReplyDeletehow very funky!
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a fun piece to watch as the arms move up and down. The red color stands out. That's also a nice looking fence in the background.
ReplyDeleteIt would be relaxing to sit in the park and watch Jim
