Broken Ocean Series

Broken Ocean is a series of ongoing collaborative works with creative campaigner Sophie Thomas. The pieces highlight the global challenge in addressing the colossal flow of plastic pollution that runs into our seas every minute of every day. These thought provoking works have been exhibited extensively in the UK and at various events including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, London Design Week and Collect Open. The V&A Museum recently acquired two of the artworks for their collection.
