Marine Laboratory by Georgia Rose Murray

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:

‘Marine Laboratory: This book was painted on a particularly cold, inhospitable day when there was a lot of mist. I investigated lots of places around the research base of Ny Alesund, before I found this empty lab with a long window looking out towards Blandal. Towards the left of this painting, you can see Blandal in the distance, which is where the other concertina book was painted a couple of days afterwards. The Marine laboratory is right on the edge of Ny Alesund harbour, the big windows and sills provided the perfect vantage point to look out at the majestic Fjord and mountains beyond.’
