Artranspennine 08


Hello and welcome to my blog, and this, my first post. 

What follows are images taken during the exploration of a work entitled 5 Forms, 5 Sites, 5 Explorations, which took place from 13/6/08 - 4/7/08 for the exhibition, Artranspennine 08. The work was conceived in collaboration with Simon Wess, under the name WessandBaskeyfield, but for the most part was worked through by myself. Below is an extract from a body of text included in a booklet we created to accompany our endeavours:

'On Friday 13th June, in the hub of Manchester City Centre, our journey begins. from this point we will work for the next four consecutive weeks in four different locations forming four corners of a rectangle surrounding the Greater Manchester area and beyond. we will be working in familiar and unfamiliar surroundings, but viewing all with openness to creative potential. Our path will take us in a clockwise direction moving from North, to East, to South, to West...'

From the beginning of our journey in Manchester City Centre we then worked in Rishton, off Junction 7 of the M65, Torside, the Pennines and Ecton Hill, Macclesfield.
