Spirit of the River Wye, Terracotta

This piece is part of a project exploring a series of mythical river entities.  They embody the spirit of three rivers - the Wye, The Usk and the Lugg.  All of them are currently  suffering from unchecked pollution, this is causing the decline of wildlife in and around these beautiful rivers.  I wanted to raise awareness about this and also reflect the eternal mysterious nature of rivers and their fragility in the face of human expansion.
