The Thames is more than a river; it is a living thread connecting Oxford’s ancient crossings to London’s Docklands. Along its banks, lives, trade and stories have unfolded for centuries. This collection returns to sand casting, embracing its raw unpredictability. Cast from river mud, each piece feels talismanic, like an amulet holding memory and place. Inspired by the docks’ arrivals and departures, the forms reflect relationships: closeness, separation and reunion, shaped into something intimate and enduring.
