Lost & Found / Thames Festival Trust

Cutty Sark, Greenwich 

Commissioned by The Thames Festival Trust and a collaboration with mudlark Nicola White.
Images from the Lost & Found book project were exhibited at the Cutty Sark, Greenwich as part of a week-long programme of talks. The event explored the ship’s historic connection to London and the lives and labour of those who lived and worked along its banks.
The artefacts featured in the project were all found on the foreshore in Greenwich and Deptford, places rich in maritime history and where warships were built and maintained for 350 years by the Royal Navy.

MUDLARK on the Southbank, London

Kindly exhibited by the Thames Festival Trust
My 2018 still-life project MUDLARK will be exhibited on the Southbank until October 5th, opposite the National Theatre.
I photographed the historical artefacts London's mudlarking community have found on the River Thames and held a self-produced exhibition in 2018.
This outdoor exhibition is part of the event lineup for the 2019 Totally Thames Festival. Massive thanks to the team at the Thames Festival Trust for the opportunity.
