"Ship Slice, 2013" by Deleted Artist
“This work of art sits on the banks of the River Thames, right by the O2 (or Millennium Dome as it was originally known), on the Greenwich Peninsula. Created by British sculptor Richard Wilson, ‘A Slice of Reality’ consists of a cross section of a sand dredger, literally sliced into a single piece, showing the bridge, poop, accommodation and engine room. Installed in 2000, I stumbled upon it on a walk along the Thames Pathway in 2013. From the path, it's difficult to see it as a work of art, looking for all the world like a moored boat until you glance over the railings. After capture, I made adjustments to the tone and colours, shifting the scene into a moody, overcast world.”
