I Recently attened the:
Cromer and Sheringham arts festival.

I found a lecutre by Dr Steve Dorling, director of weatherquest to be very interesting, and has pusahed forward the thoughts ive been having about weather related art.
An interesting looking project that I missed envolved Mapping the wind, luckily documented here.
Dorling spent alot of time talking about how we record weather, and how to predict the weather it is most important to know acurately what the weathe ris doing right now. I think that artiscaly how we record things such as weather is interesting, as it is a very honest representation of facts, which aims directly to comunicate.

the Work of Maori artists George Nuku and Rosanna Raymond seemed to have the most natural sense of a mutual connection to the surounding environment, with large totems connected by sting to "map" the sky, as well as a great sense of fun and celebration of simple materials in a very playful, yet powerful way.

listening to George Nuku talk about his aproach to art is a worthy thing to do.

I find it especily interesting that there is no word for "art" in Maori, that it is encapulsted in everything, and in the same vain how George speaks about it feeling more natural making art in an open, comunal environment. not art for arts sake, but art for people, for comunication for pleasure, for everyday.
