The Avon Cut has one of the largest tidal variations in the country. The piece documents a section of the river at high and low tide over a period of 12 months. A years worth of tides also represented four seasons worth of climate and vegetation variations. The piece originally intended to be web based ended up as two photographic montages: Rise & Fall, each showing a slice of each months changes for the 12-month period (as part of the Bristol Bridges exhibition).
