Egglescliffe ‘Crossing Points’
ANDREW MCKEOWN
The river’s bridges and bends influence the forms and shapes of these pieces. A ‘crossing point’ is also a ‘threshold’ to overcome; to get from where you are to where you want to be – reflecting the area’s future aspirations.
The pieces deliberately feel organic, as if they are ‘growing out of the ground’. Each a galvanised steel box section with etched words
‘Where opposing sides meet’
to tie it with this particular location.
