An unexpected recent outcome from regular wading along the river has been a new series of sculptural extractions. The work relates less to plants along the river than to the experience of the river: its colour, its muddiness, its smell, its relentlessness, its battering of anything dropped in it or left in its way – as well as the continuity of all these things over the years.
The above picture is of some of the metal, wood, glass, rope and objects I have recovered from the river. From these I am creating a sculpture series which will be presented at my next exhibition.
