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!

Parcel goes on an adventure....

Parcel was a bit miffed....three days on a shelf, waiting for Karen to get to the end of the daily tick list.

"Please be patient” Karen said to Parcel “I have to go and get the car fixed at lunch time, perhaps you would like to join me?”

Parcel was delighted in going for a trip out!

Off to Dewsbury they went, after dropping the car off at Kwik Fit they strolled through Dewsbury town centre, nipping into a couple of fashion boutiques for a glimpse of anything nice to purchase for the pending vacation to Whiby.

They came to rest and take refreshment at Sainsburys Café. A suitable window of opportunity to unwrap Parcel, thought Karen.

“What in such a public area?!” questioned Parcel alarmingly. Karen reassured Parcel that it would be “alright” and “the people here are too busy with their own lives to notice us”.

Sitting at the café window looking out watching the weather change continually, Karen took her time to relax.

By coincident Andrew Warburton walked passed the Café window. He could not believe Parcel had not been unwrapped yet!!!

Karen made a choice there and then to allow Andrew to participate in the unwrapping of Parcel, as she had unwittingly forgot to bring her camera and by good fortune Andrew possessed his fancy camera phone.

The moment had finally arrived! Parcel was slowly revealed. Karen savoured every moment. She was delighted and in awe at the beauty revealed.

Helaina has created a most delightful, evocative piece of Art.

Karen is excited and intrigued about the adventure she is about to undertake…..

Flummuxed.....

I collected my parcel last night from Amy (it's a good job, as I'm not sure it would have survived the post!) I had a clear idea of what I thought Amy might have created in my head, as I know her practice and jumped to conclusions. There was also a little note on the box saying how I could touch it, and mentioned string. This is why I was flummuxed when I opened it!
I looked at it for a while, then wrote down all the elements I liked or that I found interesting about it. This has lead me onto an idea, which I started playing with last night, and meant I was still experimenting three hours later! It's good to have something different to work on and tax my brain in a completely different direction.

This is a snippet of Amy's piece, which I hope to take forward....

Hello All,

Just received my parcel from Michael - Wow! Not what I was expecting, but absolutely fascinating – It looks great!

Well-done Michael!

I’m already buzzing with ideas and can’t wait to get stuck into it…Think it’s going to be a late night.

But what am I going to do??

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!

Hello "passtheparcelers",

I received on Friday my art from Dawn. Slightly earlier than I expected and unfortunately this coincided with me taking some time out to go round the degree shows on Friday and Saturday, the impromptu “Art Hike” at Lady Bower in Derbyshire on Sunday and a couple of day’s holiday at the seaside. That is why this post is so late, sorry. In that time I have not been idle and there are lots of ideas going on in my head that I have taken from Dawns art work. It has been difficult to narrow down those ideas because there were so many things that I would like to do that came from the art work. Give me a day or so and I will give you a taster of what I have decided to create.

Watch this passtheparcel space.
