Janette Kerr: Extreme Wave Theory Project

A research and development project concerning the interface between art and science relating to sea surrounding Shetland. It seeks to make direct visual associations between observational and experiential field work, the work of Norwegian mathematicians and scientists researching Extreme Wave Theory, and the material culture of exploration and measurement, intertwined with the cultural narratives of danger and the sublime – historic storms, tragedies etc. that are part of Shetland’s history.
