About the Artwork

River Jars is a ceramic installation featuring vessels named after UK rivers devastated by pollution. Inspired by traditional Indian water jars—matkas and kalash—objects associated with care, ritual, and sustenance, these forms are reimagined as a meditation on heritage, contamination and environmental collapse. Each vessel incorporates water and sediment from its namesake river into the glaze, allowing toxicity to physically shape its surface. The vessels do not simply represent ecological crisis—they embody it, and by incorporating polluted waters into the glazes, contamination becomes a material language.

The jars are sold individually, come in various sizes and are priced between £300-£600. Please get in touch for more information.
