Lyd Well

The 8th of January saw another visit to Kemble, near the source, starting at Lyd Well and heading downstream under the A429 bridge and along the river, now filled with small green plants. It was another grey sky but this did create very soft lighting. Returning to my car it was nearly dusk and I entered one of the two tubes that form a curved tunnel for the river to flow through beneath the A429. There were long, think white spiders webs dangling from the roof so I set up my camera on a tripod and painted the tunnel with a powerful torch during a time exposure.

I'm a London-based artist and photographer who has explored rivers and waterways by kayak for decades. This website celebrates my photographic journey along the Thames from its source to the Docklands, captured from water level. Now working as an abstract artist, I create paintings inspired by water's beauty and movement, shaped by years of kayaking, diving, and following the flow.

In 2017, I set off on an adventure to explore the entire Thames by kayak, paddling 215 miles from its humble beginnings as a Cotswold ditch near Kemble all the way towards the sea. Getting up close and personal with the water, sometimes literally in it, allowed me to capture intimate images showing how the river transforms and grows as it winds through Oxford, Reading, and London. After showcasing London's waterways in a solo exhibition in 2019, the pandemic sparked a creative shift towards abstract art, though I'm certain my camera and I will eventually reunite to complete the journey to the sea.
