Anne Krinsky’s installation of paintings, photographs, digital prints and projections takes as its subject matter the shifting riverscape and its architectural structures - embankments, piers and river stairs - between the Thames’ high and low tide lines. The work also incorporates river-related historical materials from London archives.
The artist began the project by photographing the river and its embankments over a six-month period. Using imagery excerpted from hundreds of her photographs, Krinsky has created a major body of work in several media - paintings, photographs, large-scale digital scrolls and projections.
Krinsky on her inspiration for Tide Line Thames:
I find inspiration in the geometry of architecture and the built environment. I am interested both in the geometric regularity of repeated pattern and in its disruption. I am enchanted by the architecture of the Thames’ embankments, which are etched and eroded by the tides and the passage of time. The river walls, with their worn stone and wood surfaces embellished with bright green algae, are some of London’s most beautiful structures.
