A site-responsive artwork by Tim Davies, commissioned by Tideway, which explores and celebrates the proximity of the river, childhood memories, playfulness and a place to dream, a place to relax.
Davies’ work comprises a series of performative gestures and actions, conveying a sense of movement.
Informed by the work of Eadweard Muybridge who captured motion in stop-motion photographs, the movement is conveyed across hoarding panels as a series of images with the Thames as the central visual thread, and features the local community including residents of Tideway Village.

About the artist: Tim Davies works in a range of media, utilising the most appropriate processes, gestures and materials for the realisation of his work. His practice involves observing and responding to sites and representations of sites, exploring how they are perceived, understood and experienced. Often, these works are ephemeral in nature and complement his gallery-based work.
