A visual and written project exploring the habits and community of women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond, a reservoir on London’s Hampstead Heath that has been preserved as a women-only swimming space since 1925.

Images created from life using pencil, ink, watercolour, household emulsion paint, pastel, collaged scraps of paper and printing with found objects.

A limited run of hand-bound books will be available from Summer 2026.

‘There is a place, hidden away down an unremarkable track, marked only by a steady pilgrimage of women clutching waterproof bags. In one direction they wear a steely determination, the other a lightness of load. A heavy, clanging gate cuts through the quiet; behind it a place cut off from the industriousness of London except for the occasional overhead plane.’
