One of the local pilots, Glenda, has taken up the idea of using old ERC charts (others know them as sector charts) as a base for creating artistic images relating to the chart.

ERC Low #1 – Hay Plain in flood

 

Mixed media on primed ERC Low charts, 50x50 cm.

 

If you get close to the drawings, you can see the navigation information on the charts, underlying the drawings themselves.

These images are a pilot’s view of the world; the charts on which they are  drawn are from the same region of the landscape drawn, and show us things our eyes can’t see (radio frequencies, air space boundaries, airways and route data).

As pilots we operate in a three dimensional world and “see” our world in many different ways: the surface of the land below us and our communication network in the atmosphere around us.

 

Planning to do more of them so I have a series: may be in an exhibition someday!!!
