Meander

The River Tees Sculpture Trail

Middleton One Row, Darlington
Polished Ancaster Weatherbed limestone on sandstone plinth
Height 1.8m

Quiet and reflective, the arcing form represents the meander of the river and the movement of the water. The carving uses the qualities of the stone to exaggerate this, with a contrast between rough and polished surfaces. The relief carving of the salmon on the plinth refers to the history of salmon fishing here.
