Blackberry Hoop Swans
When preparing my settings for some photographs, these two beauties passed by. All the other birds kept a bit of a distance, swans great and confidents they are, needed to see what's going on on their strech.
I am an artist living in Leytonstone specialising in organic sculpture and communication about art and nature. The ideas and forms of my current practice revolve around the understanding of rivers, from their immediate ecosystems to how they influence people and local habitats. The Rivers Project’s aim is to create a discussion about the environment, rivers, water and nature. I hope to contribute to the ever-growing movement of people standing up and asking questions: what can we do to help, what can we do to change things in relation to the environment and how we think of it? I remain neutral and apolitical, reporting my personal visions with supporting science and art-based research as part of my creative stimulus. I'm exploring how we relate to the rivers’ environments and areas that support their systems through our experiences.
