Whitby reporting in...

Hello from Whitby!

Enjoying a nice cold beer in a cyber cafe and thought i'd report in.

Started at the beginning of the week gathering my thoughts and ideas on my response to Parcel, busy exploring different mediums and being free in this. Got loads at this stage and I will be homing "it" into a completed piece soon.

I have had moments where my head has been bursting with ideas, which as been at times a little overwhelming. It is impacting on my time here as what I am seeing and experiencing is in some way connecting with the parcel - sometimes very spookily!

Surprising connections everywhere!

.....Mean while to Parcel himself who is having a whale of a time!.....
He has enjoyed a walks on the beach, a ride on a donkey and the hedonistic play on the "tu-penny" slot machines, copious amounts of icecream and ginger beer!

Finished!

I’ve had to work very hard to finish this and there’ve been many late nights to get it all done – But it’s finished at last! Phew!

… And I’m really pleased with the results!

This collaboration has been a real joy to do and I’ve loved every moment of it!

It’s given me the opportunity and freedom to delve into new areas of creativity that I’ve always wanted to explore, yet only dabbled in before.
I think this is an area I will continue to work with well into the future… There’s so much more to discover!

It’s now time to pass it onto Carrie Scott-Huby…Good luck Carrie and enjoy !

Evolution

This has taken some doing, but everything is falling into place now.

…It’s moving, breathing and reacting! No, I’ve not created a monster, but hopefully something you will see as quite beautiful.

Here’s a little teaser…

Any ideas what it is yet?

Mutation

Another Brilliant Night! The hairs were standing up on the back of neck during last night’s development… I’m so enjoying this!

Ideas have begun to forge and mutate.

My creation is now resonating and oscillating… It’s coming alive!

.... But what is it??

Late night No.1

Well as I suspected yesterday that it was going to be a late night – it was! … Put it this way, the birds were singing when I decided it was time for bed!

But it was an extremely productive night. I always find the first few hours the most important when I’m inspired; I like to get down as many ideas as possible.

The problem now is that I have got so many ideas, and within different disciplines – Where do I go from here?

…Can I somehow fuse these ideas together and forge them into a coherent whole?

…So many possibilities and yet so little time!

Here’s a little taste of one of the avenues I was exploring

Stay tuned for more….

And on it goes again...

That’s it. The deed is done.

I have fully and completely enjoyed every second of this process,
from concept to finished article.
I think I will be revisiting this technique again fairly soon,
such was my enjoyment.
I have many more ideas to explore with the materials that I have used.

Now over to Damian Clark for the next round of creative play.
Have a huge amount of fun and good luck mate.

Creative Wounds

Yes Robin, I have touched on this process before but not for many years now.
I have got many cuts and a few burn blisters all over my hands. All in the name of creativity.

Progress Teaser

Made some progress today. Really enjoying what I have decided to do. Excited to see how it will turn out.

Here are some photo images of the work in progress.
To borrow a phraze from Rolf Harris... "Can You Tell What It Is Yet?"

Teaser Sketches

I have been playing around with a few ideas of how best to proceed and have settled on the medium that I want to use. Once I had decided on the materials I set to sketching out a few images. Here are some teaser shots from my sketches. What on earth could it be?

Keep watching!

PTP moves on. Feeling creative.

Just received the parcel from Andrew.

Looking forward to getting my teeth into this. Many ideas have sprung to mind in response to the artwork that Andrew has produced. I am going to make a pot of coffee and mull this over for a while. Watch this space!

By the way, nice work Mr Warburton!

How difficult was that?

Well, I have finally finished my piece of "Art". It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be but I have thoroughly enjoyed the process. I was able to bring together lots of ideas and techniques that I have wanted to do for ages. What you may think of the final outcome I am not sure but I have made something that I am pleased with.

The baton has now been passed to Michael Barrett. Good Luck.
