The ‘Slipstream' series of sculptures from Joe ingleby feature three main elements sited on a viewing platform next to Dalmarnock Bridge, Farme Cross, Rutherglen, and was completed in April 2001 for South Lanarkshire Council.

Made in galvanised steel and verdigris copper, it takes inspiration from nautical, navigational and natural sources. Overlooking the River Clyde, the sculpture reflects the shape and course of the river at that point and echoes the former rope-making industry of the area in a modern and dynamic form. A sense of tension is created in the 'rope' as it disappears and emerges from the ground, linking the three elements.

'Slipstream' is floodlit in purple, green and white from submerged bays in the ground, the colours being well absorbed by the galvanised steel.
