From the Press Release:

" On the 31st of May 2021, as we were emerging from the 3rd National Lockdown of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the artist began the live artwork and run Thames Run: Source to Sea.  
This took place over 14 days following the length of the river from Kemble in Gloucestershire to the Isle of Grain in Kent. Audiences could track the artist’s movements live online, using GPS tracking, live streaming and social media. A blog entry was written each evening to record what had taken place (See: https://www.a-n.co.uk/blogs/thames-run-source-to-sea/)

For this exhibition, which is part of the Totally Thames 2022 arts festival, the artist, who is a Senior Lecturer and Course Leader of the MA Fine Art and MA Printmaking courses at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge, has transformed the previously live work into a multi-media installation of overlapping sound and image, emphasising the mediated and reproductive nature of the work. 
An 8m wide map/planner document/drawing forms the main artwork facing the courtyard, with drawn annotations indicating the initial proposed route and places to stay. Printed images and daily page-entries from the blog have been placed at intervals and locations along the route. Within each of these is a recycled mobile phone that acts as a media player, replaying a looped daily section of the video footage that was previously live-streamed. 
Other artworks include 245 photographs taken at every mile during the run, printed with archival inks on cotton-rag paper, and a limited edition etching of the route based on an antique map of the river introduces the exhibition from the riverside.

This work is part of ongoing research into the performative nature of human physical activity, in which running plays a key role in the interplay between the body and technology as a means of relaying experience and examining a sense of place. 
It is more widely linked to the Running Artfully Network (RAN), an international artist-led group launched in 2021, whose aim is to bring together communities and experts to reframe running as an artistic intervention. 

The main artwork in this exhibition will later travel to Bristol to be showcased as part of the IMPACT 12 International Printmaking Conference, from 21st-25th September 2022 "
