Heritage and History
The theme of The Catch reflects two key elements of Barking's history - the fishing industry and the area's Saxon heritage.
The artwork represents two nets being cast upwards and outwards with the force of a wave.
Their structure derives from Celtic knotwork, similar to that found on the stonework in the ruins of Barking Abbey.
A wide range of information and photographs are available online in the Barking and Dagenham Council website:
