margaret has had the privileged opportunity to observe and participate with many oceanography scientists in their research, including assisting in making an ice shelf model from data from the autosub under ice project (dr ken collins) and spending three weeks in the north atlantic gathering data on rrs discovery (dr john allen, dr richard saunders, and dr toby sherwin).
she Also has been observing how the artel artists reinterpret the data and images arising from the scientist's research, to produce this exhibition. her aim has been to fathom (to understand; to comprehend; to think through) this plethora of ideas and activities that have been encountered in this project. these films of multilayered images and sound, and pulsating abstract patterns are her reinterpretations.
