River Margin

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

River Margin was created as a space to explore and highlight overlooked aspects of the natural world: tiny wild-growing plants, threatened rivers, things hidden in the undergrowth. The name refers to the riparian zone, a natural border — River Margin is a space where the liminal, the edge-dwelling, the peripheral and the unnoticed can find a voice.
