Thames Matter - Slash

Thames Matter is a collection of miniature pots, created using materials collected along the River Thames. The purpose behind this collection is to allow you to hold a piece of the Thames in your hands, creating a connection to a location through touch. Each piece reflects the tones, textures and tactile qualities of the River Thames. Added details are individual, reflecting what I documented, learnt and found on my journeys Mudlarking the Thames. 

This piece, titled Slash, reflects the unnatural. The marks, scratches and erosions of the steps and ramps leading down to the Thames, which have appeared over decades of use.  These marks end up catching the tides, leaving them muddy and wet, leaving them iridescent and glistening. One thing I notice is the contrast between the deep marks and the areas which have been left unscathed. 

Each piece from this collection is between 30-70mm in height. Prices vary depending on size. Comes in a small eco friendly hemp sack.
