Chloe Dewe Mathews: Thames Log | FullBleed

For the past five years, Chloe Dewe Mathews has wandered up and down the River Thames, documenting the way people use and interact with the river. The resulting project, Thames Log, chronicles her observations and experiences. From mudlarkers searching for treasure by Putney Bridge, to a druid who built his own coracle and paddled it along the length of the Thames as a pilgrimage for peace.
“What I’m often interested in is how we project meaning onto different materials,” says photographic artist Chloe Dewe Mathews. “For example, this vast mass of water means one thing to one group of people and something completely different to another.”
Chloe Dewe Mathews is renowned for her long-form documentary projects, many of which explore people’s relationship to the land. Her work has been exhibited internationally in both group and solo exhibitions, and she previously won British Journal of Photography’s International Photography Award.

Rachel Lichtenstein's, Estuary led me here.
In my shed are a clay pipe, a rusty cold steel and some pottery I larked near Limehouse. The Thames is my dream.
