Description
'The Consequence' - by Jane Day.
Framed calligraphic work
Work with stylised fish collage in the lower left and the text of an article from the Telegraph 2004 reproduced in calligraphic writing on the right. Dark colours.
Based around a quote from the Daily Telegraph published on the 7 August 2004. It has a watercolour background and a collage of fish.
The inscription reads:
"The rain and storms are expected to add to the sewage problems in the Thames as London's Victorian sewers are often unable to cope with the volume of rain. Last Tuesday Thames Water directed storm overflows straight into the Thames to prevent flooding. It meant that 600,000 tons of raw sewage were flushed away. More than 10,000 fish were killed and washed up on the banks of the river."
Featured in the Oxford Scribes exhibition 'Rivers, Reeds & Refelections' at the River & Rowing Museum 11th September 2004 - 5th January 2005.
