Making Waves is comprised of 12 hollow wooden surfboards individually hand crafted by Peter Walker using a variety of techniques including joinery, laminating, bending, shaping, inlay, burning, laser cutting, painting and fiber glassing. These are functional surfboards that draw on the evolution of surfboard design history from Tom Blake’s innovations of the hollow board (1929) and the fin (1936) and Bob Simmons’ theories of hydro-dynamic flow (1940’s) up to present day shaping developments and experimental design. Three of the boards are collaborative efforts with South Australian artists Gerry Wedd (ceramicist) and Quentin Gore (Industrial designer) and Victorian painter Phil Hayes. Gerry and Phil work with traditional techniques of drawing, illustration and painting while Quentin’s work combines industrial technological process with handcrafting sensibilities. The development of this body of was assisted with funding from The Australia Council in the form of a 2009 Project Grant for established artists. First shown at the Jam Factory Adelaide in 2010
