WALKING NARRATIVES OF RIVER LEE
Simon Read is a visual artist and Associate Professor of Fine Art at Middlesex University London. His approach to "the Hydrocitizenship Lee Valley case study has been to identify what is unique about the River Lee – the common characteristics and the recurrent themes". By visiting, talking and walking, he has sought to gain insight into the complex water environment of Lee Valley and collected them in his book, Cindrella River.
This is a book about the River Lee, based upon a series of walks and conversations conducted by the artist and project team member Simon Read. It is for sale in various outlets, or by emailing Owain Jones price £10 plus postage.
