Thames Matter - Bite

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, title Bite, is one of my favourites within the collection. The surface has been bitten using dentures I discovered whilst mudlarking. The dentures themselves are a true mystery, which begs the question, who lost there teeth in the Thames? This piece embodies this mystery and the imprints may lead to answers, as everyones mouth is unique… 

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