Hunt & Darton as 'nipple' on second 'mamelle'
The Mumbles strung out along the shore line at the southern end of Swansea bay, has been Swansea's seaside retreat since 1807, when the Oystermouth railway was opened. Built for transporting coal, the horse drain carriages were soon converted for paying customers, and the Mumbles train became the first passenger railway service in the world. The name Mumbles - which becomes a vowel free zone in Welsh, Y Mwmbwls - is a legacy of French seaman who nick named the twin rounded rocks at the top of the head land Les Mamelles - 'The Breasts'.

Day 1 01/07/09
Snorkelling, rambling, fishing, golfing, cycling, climbing, train spotting, collecting…no... horse riding! With a clear passion for what people like to fill their time with, whether that is a day, a year or a lifetime passion, people obviously feel the need for activity. Frankly ours is art, but to make art we felt we needed to adopt a routine that we would not normally do, choosing an experience that we would not usually choose to do, to put us outside of our everyday routine and to feed our ongoing obsession with clearly not understanding with what it means to be human.
Areas of focus/aims
Horse relationship, daily blog, filming, photograph of grass movement, photoshoot, log activity specific language, shared drawings of horses, group moral, generation of ideas sheet (communal growing ideas sheet).
Day plan
8am rise, wash, dress, write blog/post images.
9am breakfast
10am tack up horses for ride.
During ride take mental note of specific language to horseriding (To be logged as glossary of terms). Looking at movement (out of context possibilities?), general learning and observation.
4.30pm Finish ride.
Sentence and photograph to reflect current relationship with horse.
Horses eating grass field shot.
Focus on one idea in one medium.
Shower
6.00pm Dinner
7.00pm Continue in necessary. De brief including update on group moral. Idea generation/sharing. Relax
All of this will provide us with new material to develop into a new work to tour in 2010.
