Thames Matter - Bone Shards

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 Bone Shards, has been created using fragments of bones discovered along the Thames. A piece carrying the history of London Meat industry. These bones are distinct in their clean cuts, linking them to the meat industry, where they use to toss the bones into the Thames as a form of disposal. The glaze applied on the interior and exterior has also been created from this bone after it has been turned into ash. 

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