Public Art in Ipswich
Against the tide
Page 9 of 52
- By Laurence Edwards
- 2004
- Riverside Walk, Bridge Street
This art work is next to the skate park by the river and is not far from Cardinal Park. It can be seen from the road if you look carefully.
It shows a figure struggling with an imagined wave, but he is not defeated. The sculpture harnesses the water's power to stay afloat and travel.
Laurence Edwards was born in Suffolk in 1967. He studied at Canterbury College of Art and in 1988 he went to study Bronze Casting and Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. There he was awarded a Henry Moore Bursary, the Angelani Prize for Bronze Casting and an INTACH Travelling Scholarship, enabling him to travel to India to study the traditional methods of casting, which are over ten centuries old.
