Six out of seven Geocaches now in position with their ceramics in place!



After another weekend when the weather could not have been more helpful, there are now six ceramic installations in place along the River Fal, each of which can be found by looking on the website: http://www.geocaching.com/ and searching for caches by Frankiebo.  Or you can just set off with a map and search them out using grid references.  The only trouble is that if you do that you will not find the artists books so can I ask that you draw or paint or sketch something and email it to me at frankieboase@gmail.com so that I can include your work in my project.  Each of the pieces is inspired by the textures and significance of the location, highlighting the importance and fragility of the landscape and man's relationship with it.  because I do not want to exhibit the ceramics in a gallery I have decided to create a short art film about the project which will be uploaded onto i-tunes at some point.  As a part of the film I wanted to record some of the sounds of the area. 
Hence I was standing by Tresemple Pool at 5.00 on Saturday morning recording the best, longest and loudest dawn chorus of my life.  A truly uplifting experience.
 If you walk out and look for my art and think about the links, will you be equally uplifted and restored?  I do hope so.  These pieces are at Tresemple Pool, near Tresillian, Around the corner from Turnaware Point, down on the beach off the coast path from St Mawes to St Just, looking at Messack Point and up on Carricknath.  One more to go which should go into the kiln this week and be in place soon after.
Remember, if you do not walk my art does not exist.
