I discovered this Koi artwork yesterday during a lunchtime walk to Trinity Buoy Wharf, walking along Orchard Place, just off the Thames Path (NE extension) – the artwork is suspended in a small gap between two warehouses – while I have run down here on quite a few occasions, I had not noticed this…
