“I’ve been working on Tidings, on and off, for around eight years. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve visited… It’s a confounding place, one moment polluted and terrifying, another calm and sublime. You certainly don’t notice the latter at first.
A walk will settle into its metronomic pace and the landscape finds some sort of balance, sometimes in the baffling complexity of commerce, other times in pure isolation. There’s something so alluring about this body of water, it’s rising and falling like the lungs of London, its history, a river of forgetting that’s swept new each day.”
