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.

Primary School artwork

This is a drawing by John Andrews, a primary school pupil at Hamnavoe Primary School, Burra, Shetland. The class have been making work using charcoal and chalk, and using images seen on my Blog as inspiration for their own artwork. I think it's a great piece of work - very expressive. Well done John!
