Confluence – Sue Woolhouse – Jim Roberts (1999)

Confluence

Located close to the mouth of the Ouseburn where it enters the River Tyne. Consisting of two steel panels, interlinked weather forged metal fish, housing coloured glass inserted within the framework, and protected within a double glazed unit and strong mesh. This artwork represents the coming together of two rivers to form a large river. The idea was arrived at through an original artwork depicting fish & children in Christ Church Nursery garden.
