The Shipping Forecast on BBC World Service is such an iconic and treasured part of British-ness and I felt I wanted to document it in some way. I have made two versions- this one with the countries coloured in with the relevant flag, and the second one with the landmasses in green, which gives the shipping areas more focus. I had no idea how uniquely British this is, until an American friend told me that he had no idea what our 'shipping forecast' was.
If you would like more information about this piece of work or to purchase a giclée print, I would be delighted to hear from you via the 'Contact' tab.
