Description

This book is based on the artwork of Sue Jane Taylor.

She is no stranger to extreme working environments, having worked for over thirty years recording the lives of workers in the North Sea oil industry on sites such as Piper Alpha, Piper B, Forties platforms and recently Murchison in the Northern Seas.

Her work now extends to the offshore renewable energy industry.

The book brings a unique perspective to the relationship between art, environment and industry while revealing a relatively alien way of life on board a North Sea oil platform.

Among other themes it will consider the future of energy in Scotland.

The book has an introductory essay by Elsa Cox, Senior Curator of Technology at National Museums Scotland, illustrated by relevant objects from the collections in the National Museum.

This is followed by Sue Jane Taylor's artwork, with extended captions.
