Thames Drawing 2

Thames Drawing 2

Thames Drawing 2 is a new scaled map of the River made using the names of boats that use the Thames collected over a period of months when making the piece. The list of names are ‘woven’ into a continuous piece of text which exactly charts the River’s twists and turns. This original drawing describes the stretch know as the Tidal Thames, flowing through central London from Teddington Lock to the Thames barrier in the east. This piece is part of a series of works made looking at the same stretch of the River each exploring a different characteristic of water and an associated material value, such as salt, gold, wood, names, plastic.
