This piece draws from the gothic, architectural language of Thanet local Pugin. Inspired particularly by his gargoyles, those surreal little beasts perched on buildings, spitting rainwater out into the world ~ both monstrous and functional. I started thinking about water, discharge, grotesquerie… and inevitably, about Southern Water’s endless sewage spills into the sea. This one lamely dribbles, a kind of constant leak frozen in time.

Exhibited at ‘Medieval Relics’, The Gallery at Green & Stone, June 2025.
