Antarctica, Art and Archive

Antarctica, Art and Archive (Bloomsbury Press, 2020) is an exploration of the work of Edward Wilson, polar explorer, doctor, scientist and artist. It begins with his watercolours and painting practice in Antarctica but ripples out into other investigations. In this short film, Polly Gould looks at archival material at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge and discusses the ways in which her artistic practice informed her research.
