Closing Party - Thursday 1st July 2010

The Final Countdown

Time seems to have flown by and the final week is already here. A number of people have been in to make journeys and I am currently working on some new pieces to ready them for the Closing Party on Thursday. So far I have added journeys from The Whelans, The Vaughans, The Andrews, Paul Whiteside, Nicholas Tipple & Bethan Ellis. There are another seven or so to complete.

It's been great getting more and more people involved. Here's a few of the excellent photos that have been chosen for exhibition.

...and here's one I couldn't quite fit in from the journey of Nicholas Tipple and Bethan Ellis:

A little treat for me left outside the CCCA (maybe deliberately) on the workmen's fencing currently opposite the front doors ...

new journeys

2 of the new works from the journeys of the Whelan family and the Vaughans are now up. These have been added to the map of everyone's journeys too (see detail below). A number more works are in process of being made, and one waiting in the wings to be added.




Please bear in mind, if you would like to submit your journey and findings for the exhibition, to get this done by Saturday 26th. This will hopefully give me time to create the selected works for the closing party on Thursday 1st July. (The actual final day of the exhibition is 3rd July).

new work in the pipeline!

Also just to say, I'm excited to announce four new journeys have been made in the last week. I will be making new pieces of work to be added to the show in the coming few days, so the start of the evolutionary aspect to the exhibition is about to begin. I will keep you updated with further progress.

Haikus For Yous

Thought I'd also offer up a handful of haikus which again didn't quite fit within the exhibition but that would be a shame for no eyes to ever see...

George Ttoouli:

not corners, windows
junctures to elsewhere like wood
means different sites

Sue Hull:

a happy shelter
its perfect plastic colours
melt into the cold

Rooting around wood
Length of lead piping protrudes
No body though. Good!
