Cockshaw Burn: Streambed Interventions

Cockshaw Burn: Streambed Interventions

Through a new partnership with Commissions North a series of artworks and designs are being integrated into a major Environment Agency flood defence scheme along Cockshaw Burn which runs through the centre of Hexham.

A series of granite sculptural forms placed within the streambed create a playful interaction with the water. Text and linear elements in the stream and enclosing walls refer to the vitality of water and the organic mathematics of the Fibonacci number series.
