A Sketchy Impression

This body of work is the result of an informal artist residency by Robert McRae on two Collins class submarines and represents an artist's view of the secret life of submarines, when he explored the machinery, scale, internal spaces and arrangements, the role of the crew at their various work stations, (man in the machine), and weaponry, all of which is currently classified. The artist had a minder watching him work at all times and at times was stopped form working in certain parts of the sub. He was not allowed to photograph on board, except occasionally crew's faces, with special permission from high ranking officers. So most of these sketches were done on board watching the crew at work. It is a rare and unique record of the Collins class submarines.
