The  Thames shoreline  is littered in large brown bones, flint, chalk, ceramic cigars, and broken ceramicware. I created multiple on site sculptures using materials on the shore which drew attention from passerbyers. Some joined me in the building and we discussed Mudlarking, a term for people who collect items from the Thames. Mudlarking used to turn in some profit  but now in order to take things from the Thames you must obtain a permit from the government. I discussed my project with my  studiomates who were shocked by my findings. Fear about the Thames as a bacterial breeding ground prevented many people from London setting foot on the shore. They were unaware of the bones, the cigars, and the policing of historical waste. This project led to rich conversations with strangers and peers about ephemerality, history, and ownership.
