Continuing south from Musical Dragonfly along River Tees Rediscovered’s Tees Sculpture Trail, we reach Hurworth and Andrew McKeown’s Crossing Points.
“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 ‘Between two counties this great river flows’ to tie it with its particular location.”
