Projects

The Memorial Park was, in the late 1800s, the recreation ground for the Thames Ironworks Shipbuilding employees and the home of their works football club. In 1900 the team turned professional and became West Ham United, later moving from this site to the Boleyn Ground in Green Street.

Circle Thirty Three Housing Trust wanted to produce an integrated artwork to be installed as part of the redevelopment of Murray House, a residential development originally under the care of the United Women's Homes Association providing housing for women on low incomes, including war widows, since 1925. The site was down a small side street with oblique views.

The Ship Swallower is essentially drowning on dry land, an evocation of the Goodwin Sands and their ability to scupper and suck anything into the sandbank.

In 2007 Mooch created a project about the Dome that was due to become the O2. 12 chairs were placed around Trinity Buoy Wharf, where Mooch had a container studio. The plain white chairs had a question about the Dome on each chair and a marker pen tied to it.

Mooch was shortlisted to create a mural concept for an ambitious project in the Scottish town of Invergordon to establish a gallery of murals in the high street to attract visitors and tourists from the nearby port as part of the town’s regeneratrion strategy.

Mooch was commissioned by the London Borough of Newham to create a low maintenance memorial garden in Hallsville Primary School in Canning Town, East London.

This commission by the London Borough of Newham, forms part of their Regenerating Newham programme. It deals with an eyesore site in East Ham’s High Street North, addressing the physical regeneration of the borough by reducing the desire to flypost the site.

This commission by the Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Project first came about in 2002 to address some of the eyesore sites in the area and herald the beginning of the enormous environmental changes planned for E16.

West Ham and Plaistow New Deal for Communities had a 7 year [programme to regenerate the local area and this included the Memorial Park area at the heart of the community. Mooch has commissioned to develop ideas for gates and signage.

Following a residents campaign for a safer street, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets proposed a homezone, a pedestrianised street which reduces traffic speed and create a more family friendly environment.

The Ship Swallower is essentially drowning on dry land, an evocation of the Goodwin Sands and their ability to scupper and suck anything into the sandbank.

The brief for this project was to create a concept to reflect the high spec environment established for these new business incubator units in the East London Centre in Stratford, London. The artwork needed to not only reflect the company’s corporate image but also say something about the area in which they delivered their business support services.
