Windfarm 1 by contemporary British artist Paul Bloomer

Windfarm 1

2008 Woodcut. 63 x 91.5cm

Part of a series called "Windy Nights", provoked by plans to build a giant windfarm in Shetland. This image is not meant to be literal rendition of the Viking Energy project but depicts the effects of living in the shadow of 150 giant wind turbines and their affect on the human psyche. What should ostensibly be a traditional Shetland crofting scene has become a nightmare scenario where animals and birds are being displaced and humans are gradually being driven mad.

This work is available to buy.
