Tide Light Wave – 2021

Flood and Spot Lighting

Tide Light Wave was a public art project first installed at Tide Mills, East Sussex.The project used light to bring to life the original bay area of Tide Mills, that would fill with water as the people of the town would harness the force of the sea to generate power. 

In this piece we set out to illuminate the old tidal bay, stretching nearly half a kilometre from Tide Mills, East Sussex, in the South East of England.⁠
