After the EBBE+FLOW Shetland Museum Exhibition David Faithfull and several of the (w)ORD artists head across the North Sea from Shetland to Norway on the Swan Tall Ship 

The trip leaves Shetland in heavy seas and Force 8 Wesetrly winds creating a fair amount of seasickness on board the boat. 

tentacles

Shifting peaks of hammered brine
Gainst the hull of salted pine

Sea ebbs and fayers flow
Wind tears the mariners soul

Ahab’s heart affix the mast
Cold as ice a land of glass 

Below the table seats a dozen
Pluto’s dice beneath the mizzen

Final destination is setting up the EBBE+FLOW Exhibition at Skjerjehamn as guests of the Gulating festival - Gulatinget2024, celebrating the 750th anniversary of Norway’s National Laws.
