Jenni Mitchell has been selected to work on a Norweigian Coastal Steamer as an artist-in-residence throughout January and February 2010. She will be documenting in photography and paint the voyages as the coastal steamers MS Richard With and Ms Trollfjord traverse the Norweigian Coast. Jenni will be sailing along the coast from Bergen to Kirkenes three times aboard the two different ships. The residency includes a series of workshops and lectures given by Jenni with an emphasis on 'looking' and understanding the land/seascape. The journey includes the 'Hunting the Light'; the search for the elusive northern lights Aurora Borealis deep in the Arctic Circle.

Technology willing - you will be able to follow Jenni's journey as she updates her blog page during the six week journey.

Please look at www.jennimitchell.net for norway journal. Information has been difficult to post to site as communication and internet speed from ship is painfully slow and impossible most of the time to access web. Journal notes will only be posted when i am in Port overnight such as at present, in Bergen.
