Floodline

FLOODLINE is a conceptual site-specific public artwork comprising three oversized water-level sculptures positioned in a line that place the audience underneath the water of a great historic flood. Arranged eight metres apart, in a southwest direction, an invisible horizon of the flood level runs through all three sculptures, generating an abstracted mirror of the gauges on the illusory surface.

FLOODLINE materialises a phenomenon caused by refraction, where an underwater viewer sees everything above the surface of the water as a distorted reflection. FLOODLINE gives form to a historically significant memory of place. The ripples through the sculptures intensify as they reach the ancient wetlands of Stamford Park.
