The work is an installation is based on the ceramic pattern Blue Willow. This took as its starting point my finding several ceramic fragments with this pattern, whilst Mudlarking: searching the tidal riverbed on the river Thames. 

Blue Willow is a Chinoiserie pattern, manufactured in large numbers from the 18th century onwards, representing an oriental landscape as imagined by the British people at the time. 

I have organized my research into a sort of detective workspace, in an attempt to explore the history of the European passion for Chinoiserie. I offer clues to attempt to make audiences aware of this history, providing an opportunity to understand and rethink. Such as the porcelain fragments; the footage shows people using the porcelain; the outfit worn whilst Mudlarking; and the game, music, Disney animated film and children's programme about the blue willow pattern.
