"The Westland"
In 1879, the 'Westland' set sail on its maiden voyage from Tail o' the Bank in Scotland, to Port Chalmers in New Zealand. Navigating through the filtered lens of 130 years artists Joanne B Kaar (Scotland) and Lynn Taylor (NewZealand) respond to the way of the Westland in creating parallel 84 day log books, prints and artefacts. Inspiredby the sea-chest of crew member William Young and Jonathan Moscrop's onboard ship diary Kaar and Taylor have become like sailors, spinning sea stories of this passage through their daily log entries of fragmentary discoveries, narratives, weather observations, histories, memories,objects and images. They bring two sides of the story together, Kaar relating to William Young's family croft-house (Mary-Ann's cottage) in Dunnet, Caithness Scotland, where his sea-chest is to be found, and Taylor to Port Chalmers and the Otago Harbour surrounds, New Zealand, where the Westland first docked and the immigrants started their new lives.
