Thames Festival 2013 – ‘Adrift’ at All Hallows by the Tower church
About This Project
‘Adrift’ artist Hew Locke and All Hallows by the Tower church vicar The Reverend Bertrand Olivier talk about the soon to be installed large-scale artwork and the significance of it’s placement within All Hallows – the mariners’ church.
The work, a whimsical boat festooned with garlands of flowers and foliage explores the spiritual and metaphysical symbolism of the ship and sea travel: an evocation of the final funerary journey.

Mon — Fri 8am — 6pm, Sat 10am — 5pm, Sun 10am — 1pm
