This site-specific performative installation at University of East London's Way Out East Gallery explores the notion of transience and materiality as relates to the Thames river. University of East London's Docklands campus sits at a historic trade crossroads, which location continues to facilitate the movement of people and commodities. My creation of this transient work signifies the constant change in the area, both physically and phenomenologically.

I chose to print on the same dissolvable fabric used in industrial embroidery processes as an allusion to the fast fashion industry and its place in accelerating environmental degradation. I further this metaphor through the use of ice as a medium for "melting" my prints, again alluding to environmental change in general and the dilapidation of shores as a result of melting glaciers in particular.
