Spanning the River Lea, Helen Cammock's new commission, On WindTides (2024) is a large-scale text installation that explores movement, migration and change. It consists of a short prose, on either side of a 60-metre cable bridge just north of Cody Dock. One side of the bridge ‘We fold ourselves across the tides,’ whilst the other side reads ‘From silt to land sometimes we live as wind blown sand’. The letters sit proud of the bridge, creating an interplay between the words and the movement of the sun.
On WindTides is one of three co-commissioned artworks developed by The Line in collaboration with local residents. Supported by Newham Council.
