A “Gibralterised” Hartmann Travelling Wardrobe / Trunk manufactured in the period 1910 –1930,is to be used as inspiration for producing some new interactive artwork. It is well worn and inscribed with the initials D.A.N. 

If any one has any memorabilia such as photographs, menus, post cards, letters etc. we can borrow or has any personal stories to tell relating to the above or any element of sea travel from 1910 to present day we invite them to participate in the celebration and commemoration of the Life of D.A.N. including the mapping out of possible journeys.

We have discovered that the trunk was used for travel on the Steam Ship Sarpedon (IV), of the Blue Funnel Line from Liverpool to South Africa and possibly Australia between 1923 and 1962.

Their theme of High Tide Low Tide is based on exploring the different ways individuals perceive, interpret and capture the constantly moving and changing environment around them.  The work already produced - textiles, video, photography and installation art allows the artists to share ideas, progress new work, and to research finding somewhere to exhibit this work first in Liverpool then Cologne, continuing their partnership
