Abstract
Sue Jane Taylor provides an autoethnographic account of her work as an artist chronicling offshore petroleum production in the North Sea. Taylor, who grew up on the Black Isle in the midst of Scotland’s 1970s oil boom, tells stories of her visits to offshore ships, rigs and production platforms in the North Sea and related infrastructural sites onshore. Her visual art emphasises the importance of oil and gas industry labourers and the environments in which they work. “Art and the Offshore” charts profound changes in new methods of oil and gas extraction, attitudes towards natural and social environments, and emerging large-scale offshore renewables. Sue Jane Taylor’s chapter is part history, part memoir and part political-social reflection on 35 years of making art about the North Sea oil and gas industry.
