Found objects and detritus are plucked from the world and metamorphosed into small-sculptures and other worldly dioramas.
Flotsam Fables inhabit a bygone time and a magical realm. They whisper stories of transformation, shapeshifting and spiritual connectedness.
Riva lives on the Wirral peninsula, near the Irish Sea and makes her creations in her studio next door to a family of foxes frequented by an audacious squirrel. She surround herself with an unreasonable amount of seashells, small stones and jars of found treasure.
