The original sketchbooks are recordings of the changing arctic scenes. The format, a concertina sketchbook, is a necessity. Due to the extreme weather conditions only small amounts of drawing and painting can be done at any one time. We have worked to replicate the format, which when unfolded is over 3 and half metres in length to allow the sketchbooks to be exhibited at museums and galleries.

These preliminary drawings are translated into large scale works recording the changing arctic environment.
Description below about Blandal by Georgia Rose Murray:
‘Blandal: This book was painted over two days, during two excursions I made to Blandal, from Ny Alesund, where I was staying in The Artists Cabin. The golden light was incredibly exciting as the sun began to peak over the mountain tops for the first time in months. When the sun did emerge, the landscape of snow and ice erupted into a sea of millions of sparkling diamonds, only for a few minutes each day. I was lucky to have a whole research lab to myself, so could lay out the concertina sketchbook and make the panoramic painting using watercolour.’
