Topographical mapping of the Stour's length etched into local beeswax and Erwarton Bay mud.
I have engraved the length of the river into the surface of the wax, with its tributaries and creeks, mudflats and marshes, from the root to the mouth of the estuary. We see the correlation between the branching patterns of the river and the same branching systems within our own bodies.
