The Mole Men
Inspired by Peter Ackroyd’s London Under, this series explores the hidden world beneath London through the idea of the “mole men”. The Thames Tunnel, the first tunnel built beneath a river.
The piece shows the moles making their daily journey into the tunnel, representing the rhythm and the routine of the working day.
“TO ENTERTAIN THE FANTASY OF THE TUNNEL MAY REPRESENT THE FEAR OF BEING SEEN; AND THE POWER OF BEING UNSEEN.”
- London Underground, Peter Ackroyd
