Pyrmont, Tied to Tide

Tied to Tide is the name of this artwork located on the waterfront of Pyrmont Point Park, in the inner west suburb of Pyrmont. It is located along the boardwalk on Sydney Harbour which provides views across Johnstons Bay and towards the city skyline. This installation, which was created by Jennifer Turpin and Michaelie Crawford in 1999, is described as an ‘aquatic instrument’ involving eight identical arms of recycled hardwood beams and red ladders which are ‘played’ by the winds, tides and waves to independently rise, fall, pivot and rotate.
