There was news of a fatality in a tug accident on the Thames on Friday. A teenage crew member of the tug Chieftain was drowned when it capsized off Greenwich Pier in south London. I was in Gravesend on Friday and Saturday talking to Joan and Dennis, both of whose lives have been affected by accidents on the Thames. Even though I am a Londoner I have never really thought about the river as being a dangerous place. But having learnt from their experiences I now see it in a different light and read the report of the accident with a new found sympathy.
I am in the final stages of finalizing my artwork for the Old Town Hall and have started the production of each of the elements. It has been good to have such positive and helpful feedback from people and I am looking forward to installing the work in September.
