STINK-pipe test pieces for Doulton/Bazalgette project using clay from London’s future supersewer.
Votive - An ACWU Project, part of the Thames Festival 2018. Fifteen clay votives made by members of ACWU were exhibited at Southwark Cathedral then thrown in the River Thames.
London Lungs Air pollution in London is responsible for thousands of early deaths each year. These lungs are a votive offered for clean air. Made of unfiltered clay dug from below the River Thames. When fired, gases released from impurities distorted and darkened them. A reminder of the slow but serious damage caused to our health by the invisible particulates we breathe everyday.
An unfired replica was returned to the river with the hope that radical steps will be taken for clean air to return to our bright city.
