hook, line and sinker
A fishy diary for 2008.
The Yorkshire Water Riverlife diary is a celebration of an investment of over £250m in waste-water treatment works around the region. These improvements will help a wider variety of fish to thrive in the regions rivers and create a diverse ecosystem attracting further wildlife to Yorkshire's rivers.
Using the 12 months of the year we graphically told the various stories of the investment and its affects. It incorporates; poetry from a regional poetry competition; children's stories from Yorkshire schools; fishy jokes throughout April; fold-out maps for walking the regions countryside; prints from credited Yorkshire photographer Ian Beesley; and even a calendar for Xmas.
All combined to create a witty, interactive and humorous way to log in the daily chores.

I've got something planned, a little, subtle trickery, to fully enhance the experience of viewing my work. Hopefully, it will be likened to being given a guided tour, if you would like, of the actual work. The Riverlife diary would benefit from this as it has a special metallic mirror-board which refracts colour so it looks, and behaves, like fish scales. And it comes complete with net. What a catch. So watch this space.
