Old River Tees ‘Rewilding’
INFINITE…
An installation of interlocking organic forms inspired by how nature has reclaimed this location.
Made from painted, galvanised steel – the piece echoes the curve of the meandering Old River Tees and the growth of local plant life.
Each bird-like plane has flowing lines representing the emergence of this area as a natural habitat.

Old River Tees
Did you Know?
The River Tees once meandered first south and then north of its current channel between Stockton-On-Tees and Middlesbrough. Cuts were made in 1810 and 1831 to straighten the river’s course and enable ships to save time and money in navigation. Known as the ‘Mandale Cut’ and ‘Portrack Cut’, the original meander is still visible today.
