This bookwork depicts pollution in the Thames in the eighteenth century from an environmental and historical context in the form of a mutant abstract fish seven foot long. The mouth of the fish is the pure source of the Thames upstream. Going down the body reflects the journey downstream where the water becomes more and more polluted. If the fish's body is like the cover of a book then the contents can be found in the belly: drinking containers covered with poems describing the polluted river.
