The iconic shape of the river Thames has always appealed to me, and not just because of Eastenders.
Father Thames really is a feat of engineering. The path of the river, from Chiswick to Woolwich, is laser-cut in cobalt-blue acrylic. This is then layered into a huge black acrylic box. Hundreds of L.E.D lights are then placed inside the box, along the path of the river. These lights are computer controlled to switch on and off at certain times which mimics the flow of the river at a hypnotic, mesmerising speed. Click on the video link to see the movement in action.
Father Thames is made to order. Because of the complexity of construction it can usually be created and delivered in around 4-5 weeks.
