51°31'05.01" N 0°00'13.43" W (reed, water, sediment, paper, concrete, steel) is a concrete-backed book containing handmade paper crafted from sediment, fibres, and water sourced from Cody Dock—a former coal dock along the River Lea in East London. The title incorporates the coordinates of the reed bed from which the fibres were harvested, one of London's oldest surviving reed beds along the Lea, serving as a remnant of the wetland landscape that existed before industrialisation.

This work engages with themes of extraction, industrialisation, and containment. The materials are encased in a concrete and steel framework, symbolising industrialisation's imprint on the river and the scars of capitalism.. The book relies solely on materiality—without words or images—serving as a sculptural representation of these themes. The paper's texture and colour reflect the site, pigmented by coal-dust-rich sediment sampled from Cody Dock, where remnants of coal from industrial times still persist in the dock's sediments.

51°31'05.01" N 0°00'13.43" W (reed, water, sediment, paper, concrete, steel) responds to the transformation of rivers, where meandering forms have been replaced by rigid, linear structures. Rivers' ever-changing, dynamic qualities are "captured" and controlled. In this context, the paper is compressed between two reinforced concrete slabs, suggesting the river's current state. Papermaking, particularly in industrial contexts, is wasteful of fresh water. This book confronts this legacy by emphasising the "dryness" of its interpretation. It reflects on itself as an object that, in its very creation, required its own form of extraction.
