WHEE is a 4 metre wide series of concave and convex letters that distort your image to make you wide, thin, upside down and just plain odd! The playful letters are beautifully made with mirror sides and add a punchy graphic statement whilst distorting the harbour around it.

To celebrate the up-and-coming Queens Platinum Jubilee, Mooch & Hold Creative Spaces are bringing a series of events in Ramsgate to celebrate the occasion.

In 2022, Mooch was shortlisted by Stonewater Housing Association to create a sculptural focal point as part of their Langton Park development in Wiltshire. The new neighborhood was very close to the Science Museum Groups - National Collections Center, housing their fantastic collection.

For Holocaust Memorial Day, Ramsgate Town Council asked Mooch to create a hashtag on the beach at Ramsgate, to mark the service that took place on the 27th January.

Mooch has been commissioned by Historic England as part of their High Street Heritage Action Zone cultural programme called Twin Towns and is 1 of 6 creative practices that will connect 2 HSHAZ towns.

Porta Maris Portus Salutis is the Margate Motto meaning Gateway to the Sea and Haven of Health, here sketched in the style of the logo for Universal Credit.

Worse Things Happen at Sea lists the names of over a thousand vessels recorded as lost.

Mooch’s project for the 2017 Ramsgate Arts Festival celebrates the fact that Ramsgate has it’s own Meridian Line that is 5 minutes and 41 seconds ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

PERFUGIUM MISERIS is an overlooked part of the history of Ramsgate harbour in Kent. It is the Latin motto which is carved into the beautiful Georgian lighthouse at the end of the western harbour arm. PERFUGIUM MISERIS translates as “refuge for those in need”.

2015 saw the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, an event which helped shape the town of Ramsgate. Many thousands of troops assembled in this seaside town before sailing off to fight. The victory of the Duke of Wellington who led the British army is marked in the street names.

King George IV was an amazing character, famous for an extravagant lifestyle. He adored decoration and self adornment and was responsible for his coronation crown being so lavish that the diamonds had to be rented and then returned.

Mooch was invited by landscape architects, Philip Cave Associates, to team up and produce ideas for the re-design of a pocket park near Ann Street in Brighton. The park had become a focus for anti social behaviour and a fresh start needed to turn it into an important green space on a busy pedestrian route.

In 2011 Mooch was commissioned by Network Rail to consider the triangle of green space between the train tracks at Hither Green station in South London.

Transport for London were undergoing a program of highway improvements along the A1 corridor out of North London. Several areas of concern were highlighted long this route and Mooch commissioned to develop concepts for two of these areas.
