Topographical contour map of the landscape banking the Stour in local beeswax and mud from Johnny All Alone Creek.

This painting shows the contours of the landscape surrounding the Stour on a 1:50,000 scale. The contours of the river's geography, it's mudflats and marshes not only resemble lungs visually but also in their purpose as filtration systems.
