OPENING TIMES: 12pm - 5pm

My passion is scavenging about, mudlarking on the banks of the Thames looking for objects that have been turned into ‘something rich and strange’ by the tides. Our society has an out-of-control culture of consumption and newness. I want my work to make people stop and think. I take things with no value and search for a spirit or an energy in them that’s easy to overlook. The river that runs through our great capital city has much to tell us of time passing and of our links with people who are no longer here.

Many of the objects I find are fragile and battered but they’ve survived. Old bits of shoe leather with the green copper nails still in place. Pieces of enamel that have cracked and formed strange patterns. Over lockdown I made over 100 sculptures and will have many of them on display for the Arts Trail.
