Oliver is also forced to contend with Prometheus' ally Black Siren, a twisted doppelganger of Laurel Lance with a sonic scream. In flashbacks, Oliver joins the Bratva in Russia as part of an plot to assassinate Konstantin Kovar. There, he meets and is trained by Talia al Ghul, as a hooded archer, before returning to Lian Yu.. Anna Maria Island was discovered by the local Timucan and Caloosan Native American tribes and, later, by Spanish explorers (including Hernando de Soto) in the name of the Spanish Crown. Hernando de Soto and his crew entered the mouth of Tampa Bay, north of Anna Maria Island, in May 1539, passing the island by to make their landfall on the mainland.Anna Maria Island was first settled in the beginning of the twentieth century by Tampa Mayor Madison Post who then named the island for his wife Maria and his sister in law Anna. As Cuban fishermen were the first visitors to the island at the southern mouth of Tampa Bay, the settlement was very soon dominated by nautical types.[2]In 1892, George Emerson Bean became the first permanent resident on the Island, homesteading much of what is now the City of Anna Maria.

As September 22 nears, more people have come out in support of Evan's project, including the staffers he had. One shows Evan researches that he had found on Long, specifically that he had built Prestige Crest after damming off a nearby water source, but Long had cut many corners in building the dam. The staffers suspect Long would do the same with the Public Land Act Bill. cheap wigs
Lace Wigs Hello. I found your hub to be awesome. I enjoyed reading it and looking at the images that you included in it as well. Following the success of the Japanese pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1993, a dazzling mirrored room filled with small pumpkin sculptures in which she resided in color coordinated magician's attire, Kusama went on to produce a huge, yellow pumpkin sculpture covered with an optical pattern of black spots. The pumpkin came to represent for her a kind of alter ego or self portrait.[36] Kusama's later installation I'm Here, but Nothing (2000 2008) is a simply furnished room consisting of table and chairs, place settings and bottles, armchairs and rugs, however its walls are tattooed with hundreds of fluorescent polka dots glowing in the UV light. The result is an endless infinite space where the self and everything in the room is obliterated.[37]. Lace Wigs

Smaller than. Headgear. Compressive safety helmets worn tightly and closely to the scalp are a cause of traction alopecia. The lining of tightly fitted safety helmets like those worn for activities such as motorcycling, cycling, skiing and snowboarding are responsible for the constant rubbing and tugging of localised areas of the hair and scalp.

Visualator in practice
Visualator, our iPhone and iPad app, is available to download now and is a great little tool for creating abstract compositions. With two design platforms, Triangulate and Gradulate, Visualator enables you to design on the fly and then save your art to your device's internal memory.
Although Visualator is fun to use, it needn't be just a fancy play-thing. In this tutorial I'll demonstrate how I took my Visualator compositions and combined them into my own original piece of graphic art using Illustrator and Photoshop.
The possibilities are endless, and this tutorial should act as a starting point for your own experiments. We'd love to see your Visualator creations, whether you've created them in-app or exported the imagery. You can upload your creations to the Computer Arts Visualator Flickr group.
01 To begin with you'll need an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad with a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. Head to the App Store and download Visualator. The app is free to install, and should take no longer than a few minutes to download.
02 Once installation is complete, launch Visualator and choose your drawing mode. For the purposes of this tutorial, I'm using Triangulate, as I want to create an angular, geometric piece. Choose a background colour and a range of colours to draw with, and experiment with toggling the Pattern Modes on and off.
03 Create a number of different, random compositions, connect your device to a desktop or laptop, and import the images. Open them in Photoshop, convert to Grayscale, and up the levels and curves so that the contrast is quite severe. Save all of your black and while images in a folder for use later.
04 Switch over to Illustrator and set up a new document. Using the Pen tool and the Basic Shapes tools, begin to flesh out a rough composition that we'll later drop our Visualator comps into.
05 To create the circular parallel bars, simply draw a circle and fill it with a Linear Gradient. Now go to Object> Expand and specify 10 objects. Hold Shift+R to rotate the shape, and then select Divide from the Pathfinder palette and hit Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup the objects.
06 Ensure that all your elements are on separate layers, then export your document as a PSD with Write Layers selected. Open it up in Photoshop and turn all the layers off, apart from your parallel lines.
07 Open up one of your black and white Visualator comps and copy it. Back in your main Photoshop document, use the Magic Wand to select one of the parallel lines, and go to Edit> Paste Into. Repeat this process using different Visualator comps for all the separate bars until you have something that looks roughly like the image above.
08 Switch your other layers back on, and source some imagery to drop in. I want my piece to have a surreal look so I've found a desert scene from my own iPhoto library. Hit Ctrl/Cmd+I to invert the image, and ramp the contrast right up. Now, using the same technique as before, I paste the desert image into the central circle shape.
09 Now to add some colour. Select all of your Visualator layers, and click Merge Layers in the Layers palette drop-down menu. In the Layer Styles palette choose Colour Overlay, select Multiply as a Blending Mode, and choose your Overlay colour.
10 To finish off this simple graphic piece, I've pasted a number of inverted Visualator comps into the background, with Lighten selected as the Blending Mode. Experiment with the size and scale of the comps, and try to create some interplay between the angular elements. I've also drawn some diagonal lines and a diamond shape in Illustrator, and pasted them over, knocking the Opacity of the large triangle back to 75%. There you have it: a very quick and easy way to put Visualator to use in your own work.

Harnessing the power of research to learn and generate new insights, enabling the arts community to be strategic, focused and adaptive.
This is how we work
Take a stroll from here to there to encounter Mass Culture’s work and process:
Creatively sharing knowledge
There are benchmark moments when knowledge needs to be shared. However, as a learning organization, generating a report tends to signal the start of something rather than an end result. We also invest time in thinking about how to share information in ways that resonate with people.
A great example is the poem written and recited by Luke Reece during the ASOs: Positioning a Future Forward event. Make your way back up to the top of the page to see what we mean by creatively sharing knowledge.
From our earliest beginnings, we have built up our knowledge base by creatively convening the arts community. This work sets our priorities and determines the issues that matter to the sector.
Here is a gallery of challenges that we crowdsourced in 2022 in preparation of ASOs: Positioning a Future Forward.
For us, It is important to document, reflect and share our processes. Creating an evaluation framework early on in collaboration with the project's partners, establishes what we hope to learn and intentionally take time during the project to review and adapt.
Click below to check out the Research in Residence: Arts' Civic Impact Evaluation Logbooks.
Knowledge, research and data exist all around us. We just feel the need to amplify and organize it in ways that feel digestible and relevant. In the past, we've hosted datathons to collect resources on particular topics so that we can house them in Artifex!
Click below to find out more about Artifex and share your resources to help it grow.
The relationships and connections that we have made with well over 1000 people who care about the arts is fundamental to doing this work well. When we talk about Infrastructure, Mass Culture's network is major part of what we are are referring to as well as some of the research tools we've been able to build in concert with arts community.
Our newest research tool is D.N.A's Arts Data Platform.
As a way of sharing knowledge to strengthen the arts sector we host learning opportunities. The T.R.A.I.N program is our largest professional development program to date. We have lots of asynchronous learning materials from T.R.A.I.N here.
Providing training opportunities also enables us to share how to use the research tools that we've created. Find out more about the D.N.A Learning Series here.

We are very curious and experimental when it comes to designing processes. Our community-based approach to research often leads us to co-developing some type of convening. We thoroughly enjoy working with others to understand how best to bring people together to achieve resonance, continued engagement, and potential future action.
An example of a creative convening approach: Mass Culture’s Play-Go-Rounds.
Photography by Sariena Luy & Jazmine Snow.
Research is a living thing. Although this linear representation of our work is ending, we continue to test and apply the emergent ideas and resources from our projects.
An example of this is the Qualitative Impact Frameworks developed through our Research in Residence: Arts' Civic Impact program. Currently, we are working with the researchers and arts organizations to implement and test the usefulness of these new tools to determine impact.
Travel back to the top to see the cycle begin again.
Art by Harmeet Rehal.
Getting from here to there is by no means linear. This is just for the purpose of being neat and tidy.

In the Realm of Humans: Jaroslav Kučera’s Silent Dialogues
Exhibition running till 2. 4. 2017 @ Leica Gallery Prague
One of the most significant contemporary Czech photographers, Jaroslav Kučera, has explored urban environments of ‘people on the margins’ and through his newest works, he has created intriguing Silent Dialogues. Kučera became most famous for his ‘snapshots’ of the Sudetenland during the nineties which exceptionally captured the loose atmosphere after the fall of the Iron Curtain. His newest exhibition at the Leica Gallery maps ambiguous locations around Prague and is running until this Sunday, 2nd April.
Kučera is known primarily for his unromantic profile of Czechs, including prostitutes, gold-diggers, or losers; however, due to a lack of time in his present schedule, he has made photos to capture the magic of Prague itself. As he has testified: “I began one day on my way from tennis, when I noticed how the air-supported hall is strangely illuminated by the sun, I dived into it and I have been travelling through Prague for two years already.”
When we encounter Kučera’s depictions of the most ordinary of ordinary objects, our minds are reminded of old memories, or emotional and thematic associations. All of the photos in Silent Dialogues were taken with a digital Nikon during 2015 and 2016. Some places are familiar (like the Hilton Hotel), or there are objects that remind us of things we have once seen; others only seem as obscure belongings or habitats of people we will never know. The hidden narrative essence of his black and white photos is enhanced by the curatorial decision of Daniela Mrázková’s to group them in pairs. Try for yourself: a photo of a curled top of a pipeline poking out of a hill on a golf course is hung above an image of an old, used mattress sticking out of a rooftop against a clear sky.
In his latest series, Kučera is following the tradition of Czech Surrealists, such as Jindřich Štýrský, Vilém Reichmann or Emila Medková. However, in his case it not really surrealism, but rather “surbanalism.” Instead of analysing bizarre aspects of reality, he is focusing on the totally banal. Although there are no humans captured in this cycle (except for one blurred walker), their presence seems to be in all of his photographs, anyway. The significance of these trivial images is how well they are able to reflect us, and the time that we are living in. Kučera is thus continuing his focus on people, but offering us a fresh view refined by deserted urban environments.
Jaroslav Kučera (born 1946 in North Bohemia) studied at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague and he only became a free-lance photographer right after graduation. During the first anniversary of the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1969, he was arrested as a dissident and held in Prague’s prison at Pankrác, where he made the decision to become a photographer. Since then, he has photographed commercially for magazines and businesses, but he has also never forgotten about his artistic pursuits. For his most exceptional work he has won many awards, including the Best Photograph of the Year 2000 in the Czech Press Photo competition.
This exhibition is held in honor of Kučera’s 70th birthday, and it shows his continuous growth as one of the most preeminent contemporary photographers in this country.

In addition to these NFT CurioCards, Christie’s will be auctioning NFTs from the collection organized by Art Blocks. The title of this auction is “Post-War to Present”. As part of the auction, modern artists would be allowed to choose their favorite post-war artwork from over 200 choices and pay for them on Ethereum.
According to news portal ArtDaily, “Art Blocks Curated” – a collection of 31 post-war art projects assembled by Canadian collector Barcella will begin the auction on October 1.
Additionally, CurioCards, which is an online art platform for digital artists and collectors, will also auction some of the oldest works of art made on the Ethereum blockchain.
These works of art include a full set of 30 cards as well as 17b – which is a set of 31 non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Representing real-world objects such as art, music, in-game items, and videos, NFTs are highly regarded digital assets that use the blockchain to record the ownership status of the aforementioned items. While anyone can view the object, only the purchaser of a DTV has official status to own it.

Guy Peellaert, 1934–2008
Diamond Dogs (1974).
Many people know this classic album sleeve even if they don’t recognise the name of the Belgian artist who painted it. Guy Peellaert died this week and this is easily his most famous picture. I remember being very struck by its appearance in the local record shop window which always displayed gatefold album sleeves opened out as above. By then the notorious dog’s genitals would have been removed from the picture to protect the delicate sensibilities of Bowie’s listeners; the copy here is from a later CD reissue.
Taxi Driver (1976).
Peellaert’s work was very visible in the 1970s, especially his book of rock star portraits, Rock Dreams, a ubiquitous pop culture item along with Roger Dean’s Views and Alan Aldridge’s psychedelic whimsy. I always liked the Bowie cover, it hinted at weirder music than the rather mundane post-Velvets/Mott the Hoople rock which the album contained, but much of the work in Rock Dreams seemed garish and awkward. Far more successful was Peellaert’s painting for Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, undoubtedly commissioned on the strength of his earlier work but superior to nearly everything in his book.
Peellaert’s official site has several galleries of his paintings.

Alan Aldridge: The Man With Kaleidoscope Eyes
I’ve never been all that keen on Alan Aldridge‘s brand of psychedelic art but it’s worth noting here the (London) Design Museum retrospective which runs from 10 October to 25 January, 2009. Aldridge’s work as a designer and illustrator for Penguin Books in the Sixties impresses me more than his subsequent illustrated Beatles lyrics and The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper Feast (1973), a pair of books which seemed ubiquitous in the 1970s. Flickr has a decent selection of his book covers which included a run of sf paperbacks in 1967. Ballard’s The Wind from Nowhere is the very slight debut novel which the author prefers to forget. Where Ballard in Penguin is concerned, David Pelham’s work a few years later was a far more suitable match.
Seeing Aldridge honoured with a big retrospective make me wonder why Roger Dean hasn’t yet been given the same accolade. Dean for me is by far the better artist in terms of distinctive and memorable imagery; he’s also a better draughtsman and far more imaginative designer (not to mention having always been a speculative architect). I suspect Dean’s reputation is still blighted by his associations with Yes and the general antipathy which that band’s name generates in a certain middle-aged sector of Britain’s cultural commentariat. Ballard’s name was equally blighted in literary circles by his science fiction associations and it was Barcelona, not London, which honoured him with a major exhibition recently. There may be some home-grown reappraisals in the offing but I won’t hold my breath.

Barney Bubbles: artist and designer
Barney Bubbles: artist and designer
Image-heavy post! Please be patient.
Four designs for three bands, all by the same designer, the versatile and brilliant Barney Bubbles. A recent reference over at Ace Jet 170 to the sleeve for In Search of Space by Hawkwind made me realise that Barney Bubbles receives little posthumous attention outside the histories of his former employers. Since he was a major influence on my career I thought it time to give him at least part of the appraisal he deserves. His work has grown in relevance to my own even though I stopped working for Hawkwind myself in 1985, not least because I’ve made a similar transition away from derivative space art towards pure design. Barney Bubbles was equally adept at design as he was at illustration, unlike contemporaries in the album cover field such as Roger Dean (mainly an illustrator although he did create lettering designs) and Hipgnosis (who were more designers and photographers who drafted in illustrators when required).
Colin Fulcher became Barney Bubbles sometime in the late sixties, probably when he was working either part-time or full-time with the underground magazines such as Oz and later Friends/Frendz. He enjoyed pseudonyms and was still using them in the 1980s; Barney Bubbles must have been one that stuck. The Friends documentary website mentions that he may have worked in San Francisco for a while with Stanley Mouse, something I can easily believe since his early artwork has the same direct, high-impact quality as the best of the American psychedelic posters. Barney brought that sensibility to album cover design. His first work for Hawkwind, In Search of Space, is a classic of inventive packaging.
Update: BB didn’t work with Mouse in SF, I’ve now been told.
Hawkwind: In Search of Space (1971).
It’s fair to say that Hawkwind were very lucky to find Barney Bubbles, he immediately gave their music—which was often rambling and semi-improvised at the time—a compelling visual dimension that exaggerated their science fiction image while still presenting different aspects of the band’s persona. In Search of Space is an emblematic design that opens out to reveal a poster layout inside. One of the things that distinguishes Barney Bubbles’ designs from other illustrators of this period is a frequent use of hard graphical elements, something that’s here right at the outset of his work for Hawkwind.
This album also included a Bubbles-designed “Hawklog”, a booklet purporting to be the logbook of the crew of the Hawkwind spacecraft. I scanned my copy some time ago and converted it to a PDF; you can download it here.

Hyman Bloom’s Studio – Paintings and Drawings (1940-2005)

Viewing them clockwise and starting on the left wall allows us to sample Bloom’s painterly and Jewish concerns and imagine an underlying narrative. Number 1 (please forgive the arbitrary numbering but they are all identified as “Jew with Torah” or “Rabbi with Torah”) introduces a spectral dark-haired figure, the daub of orange and white animates his eye just as a translucent diagonal connects the substance of the Torah he holds with a supernal realm in the upper left. Looking up from the book he holds, this Jew is secure in all aspects of his faith.
Number 2 is older and more contemplative. He hovers between standing and sitting, holding the crowned scroll in a calm tranquil environment, only the agitated charcoal lines drawn later delineate his features and aged hands. The Torah is his rightful possession, but slightly distant, and yet in perfect Rembrandtian balance with his august presence.
The next set of paintings are hung four-square, summoning “The Four Ages of Rabbis.” The young blond Jew with a vibrant rust-colored streimel matched by a crimson Torah cover is surrounded by bold black and white tallit. His hands are barely sketched in as he strides towards the viewer, bold and confident. Next a mature black haired rabbi, eyes wide open, seems to embrace both Torah and sacred book equally. The agitated brushstrokes create a lively tension underlying his calm demeanor. The lower left painting of the set depicts a pious old fool sitting with his Torah, green hued and white haired in a blissful revere. Finally (Number 6) an old gnome tightly clasps his Torah outlined by an electric white charge. He is the “grumpy” of the series, a bitter figure casting a skeptical eye off to the side; mostly in shades of white overshadowed by threatening Prussian blue clouds lit by an orange glow. The form is created simultaneously from the outside in and from the animated surrounding negative space, an unmistakable echo of DeKooning. (The art historical references Bloom introduces never define his images; rather they only contextualize his meaning, casting the Jewish subjects in a foreign, unsettling and revealing light of the references themselves)
Next we see a lone lyrical fantasy in pastel pinks, yellows, blues and violets that place our rabbinic figure before a Disneyland apparition of castle-like structures. The golden sky bleeds down into the glowing rimonim which in turn illuminate the sitter’s ample white beard and fantastic swirls of calligraphic peyos. He concentrates his deliberate strides, cascading through the picture plane, fleeing the fantasy world behind him.

One might imagine contemplation would be the predominant rabbinic mode, but these ‘rabbi’ paintings are immersed in a psychic combat, restless and troubled. The contemplation of Number 9 is an exception, emphasized by the naturalism of the light shining through the lattice window on the right, surrounded by a peach-colored wall. The light passes behind the sitter, finally landing on the glowing pink end table on the left. The figure is sandwiched between these two evocative colors, deep in thought, absentmindedly stroking the deep red velvet Torah cover in the midst of painterly line, texture color and gesture.
These are never “Rebbe Paintings” in any sense of the term. Rather they explore the spirit of thinking Jewish men wrestling with the foundations of their (and Bloom’s) ancestral faith.
The end wall is occupied by the two largest works, both of which open up the pictorial space; especially the painting on the right, Number 12. Here the rabbi is in his grandest environment, a vaulted cavernous space reminiscent of the mystical synagogues of Safed, massive columns supporting blue painted vaults. Here our rabbi seems to float slightly over the earth-colored floor, a lone human presence grasping the Torah as his only anchor.
This show is deeply instructive about the process of making significant art utilizing modernist means to plumb the complexities of the religious spirit. Number 15 is an image in formation, barely visible as it emerges from thin swaths of color and agitated lines, gestural white chalk drawing and our visual memory from the other rabbi motifs. These works are never illustrative or descriptive. Rather the process hews at the subtle problems of faith and corporal temptation with the raw elements of paint, color, line, texture and image. Meaning emerges from the making.
While each painting summons its unique universe, the last painting, Number 18, represents the dramatic conclusion to the series (which was, of course, created by the curators who hung the show). The luminous painting glimmers with an electric green, defining and creating space. Significantly the rabbi turns away from his Torah that rests in his left arm (the ‘incorrect’ arm to hold the Torah). His eyes are closed and in anguish. He twists back in his chair, a figure in revulsion, pinned down by his burden. The Torah seems to present him with a conundrum unlike any other painting here. In this painting the holy object is his adversary that he cannot shed. This grand and tragic painting is the unsettled finale of Bloom’s lifelong struggle with the living content of his Jewish heritage.
For Bloom and his generation the only way to become a contemporary artist was to quickly shed the Yiddishkeit he was born into. And yet a vibrant piece of the Torah itself remained with him for over nine decades, gnawing at his creative fiber and demanding to be recognized as the ancient core of his being. These extraordinary paintings are testament to Hyman Bloom’s Jewish souhyman-blooms-studio-paintings-and-drawings-1940-2005/2013/09/13/

‘We need more events like this to bring communities together’
Devising a way to bring the broadest cross-section of people into the design, development and delivery of each of our projects has been integral to our work since the beginning.
Our definition of community embraces all the people from the many walks of life that have an investment in the work and who become part in some way of what we are doing
‘Fantastic really in depth, I loved it and so did all my family’
People we engage with include:
• those connected by locality; local residents, local businesses, local interest groups
• those connected by current experiences linked to and taking place on the site or connected to the theme in some way
• those linked by past experiences of the site/theme
• those with specialist knowledge of the site/theme
• those inspired by the work and keen to be involved
and anyone else who gets involved that doesn’t fit the above!
Through this open approach, where everyone has something to offer, people whose voices aren’t usually heard or listened to find they have a say, as well as many who might not otherwise get involved in the arts.
A really important aspect of the process is the incredible cross-fertilisation of experience and knowledge between groups that might never normally encounter each other.
‘Really interesting being from another country and hearing what kids did during and after the war compared to other cultures’
We aim to transform the way that we engage with and perceive the environment in which we live by; inspiring us all to re-discover and re-connect with people and place, transforming perceptions and empowering individuals and groups, encouraging people to engage with ‘the arts’ and opening up the shaping of an artistic work, providing opportunities for skill development and resource sharing and promoting positive social change.
‘A cup of tea and a yap and you can put the world to rights’
As well as our own arts event and production related community work we also deliver stand alone creative engagement projects tailored to suit the specific needs of a group, site or issue.
‘It made me see the landscape and interact with it in a completely different and creative way’
If you are interested in bringing us in to develop or deliver a creative engagement please contact: [email protected]
‘It was great, I’d love to do that all over again’

We're now in Judging week: Winners of Collection 35 to be announced soon...
This Is How: ‘From The Veil Shot To An Intimate Moment’ by Melissa Suneson
Excited to have the fantastic Mexico-based TiR member Melissa Suneson of Car & Mel Photography on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of this beautiful capture for our ‘This is How…’ series of pieces. Melissa’s advice about patience – how waiting just that little bit extra can really elevate an image (in this case from a ‘detail’ shot of the veil, to a beautiful moment) – is priceless.
I am based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; what used to be a fishermen’s village in the 60’s has turned out to be an international beach resort destination thanks to movie director John Houston who filmed the “Night of the Iguana” which was nominated for the Academy Awards for best cinematography and best art direction; featuring Ava Gardner and Richard Burton who brought Elizabeth Taylor to the set, and whom he was going to marry shortly after. With all this and throughout the years Puerto Vallarta has grown and developed so much that is now one of the top locations for beach destination weddings in México, having couples from the United States and Canada all the way to Australia.
With this background I am a “destination wedding” photographer, I do not travel that much but my couples do, 95% of my couples are the ones doing their destination wedding here, and most of them have their wedding ceremony and reception at the beach in a resort, at a villa or a combination of both. The other 5% which are mostly Mexican or from Mexican backgrounds living abroad that have their wedding here have their ceremony at a church; so church weddings are rare for me.
This wedding was one of those rare weddings at a church and another rare one for me was that the bride had very long and beautiful veil. Having elements I do not encounter in most weddings I was excited to see what would turn out. Once I got at the church I saw I needed to set up a flash as it was a time of the day where natural light and the lights of the church were both competing for their “not working for you” scenario. I only set up one off camera flash as I had driven with the bride and her father and had no more time to set another flash before the processional started. Talk about rushing at weddings, this was one of those times!
Once the mass started I felt I was ok with that single flash, the time came for the chorus with the Mariachi band and would last some 2-3 minutes, it is when I decided to get a veil shot as the mother of the bride had fixed it for her very neatly and I knew I wanted a shot of those veils I don’t get very often. So I went in back of the bride and groom and started building the shot, first shot was just ok but I noticed the videographer on the left as well as my flash, something I didn’t want in my shot, so I went a bit lower to hide them and it still did not work out, got another shot which was good for what I wanted. But still I stayed there a bit more.
The bonus I got for staying there to take 2-3 more shots, instead of just settling for what I had already gotten, was that suddenly the bride and groom had a little intimate moment between them when I saw them tilting their heads towards each other, so for me that was the shot, otherwise it would have been just a nice shot of the bride and groom sitting down with the long veil I wanted to get, but having that little moment made the image more meaningful with their gesture, once I got it I knew I had something special instead of what could have been just another standard shot from that perspective.
With this, once again it comes to be true that sometimes staying a bit more after we think we have the shot can pay off with a better image. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but we never know if we don’t try and be patient in the crazy wedding environment we always work in, trying to capture all the safe shots, other times trying to be more creative paying attention more to a composition than to a moment, but sometimes in between it all we will be able to get that more meaningful shot that we can be happy and proud of.

Commemorative Stamps History Behind a Stamp New Stamps News Stamps Themes World
Hungary Issued Stamp on 50 Years of Zugliget Chairlift
As early as 1930, drawings for a technical solution similar to today’s chairlift were submitted to the Budapest decision-makers by the engineer István Hantos Jr, and in 1933 documents for a cable car from Zugliget to János Hill to enable people to get to the green hills above Budapest faster in order to go on excursions and do sport were drawn up.
The Leipzig engineering firm of world repute Bleichert & Co was consulted in the planning process, which gave a positive response to the Zugliget plans, and soon the procedure began with the Hungarian authorities.
Ministerial approval for construction to start was granted but the works were slow to begin and then the outbreak of World War II scuppered the plans.
The idea of a chairlift similar to the one designed by Hantos was raised again in 1967. Construction began on 24 March 1969. The special cables and the hanging chairs were obtained from Austria, but whatever could be made locally was produced in Hungary. As the result of a competition to find a name that would attract passengers, the chairlift was called the “libegő” in Hungarian, which suggests floating through the air. It was opened on 20 August 1970.

Balletto di Roma Biography
Balletto di Roma was founded in 1960 as an artistic joint-venture between two Italian ballet icons, Franca Bartolomei, principal and choreographer of the main Italian Theatres and the étoile Walter Zappolini, who was Director of the Ballet School in Teatro dell'Opera di Roma from 1973 to 1988. The company has produced more than one hundred ballets in Italy and abroad, both the company’s own works and those by national and international contemporary artists.
Balletto di Roma today combines its own traditions with those of the prestigious Balletto di Toscana, founded in 1985 under the directorship of Cristina Bozzolini, first dancer at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Original and innovative choreographies by well established Italian artists in the contemporary dance scene marked the beginning of this new artistic era during the 2001/02 season. In the 2003/04 season the ballet staged Milena Zullo’s Don Chisciotte, starring André De La Roche, and the following year a production of Serata per Tre was choreographed by the established trio of Bigonzetti, Sciliano and Cannito. The 2006/07 season saw Cenerentola, choreographed by Fabrizio Monteverde, featuring an extraordinary performance by Monica Perego, while Mario Piazza’s The Nutcracker again featured the fantastic André De La Roche, and brought more than 10,000 audience members to the Teatro Quirino di Roma. This season will see the realisation of Bolero, Serata d’Autore, featuring four works by Bigonzetti, Scigliano, Zullo and Monteverde. Fabrizio Monteverde’s also penned Giulietta e Romeo, first staged in 1989 and reprised several times since due to the exceptional audience and critical reaction. In the latest production Romeo was portrayed is Raffaele Paganini, and its success can be measured by the exceptional audience numbers.
Thanks to the quality of the performances and the high public demand, Balletto di Roma presented an extensive repertoire in the 2009/10 season, with new productions such as Otello (cor. by Fabrizio Monteverde), Contemporary Tango (cor. by Milena Zullo) and the new staging of Bolero, Serata d’Autore. Balletto di Roma has stayed true to its traditions, upholding the history and quality of its past glories, suggesting it will continue to hold a prominent and important position amongst Italian dance companies in the future.
Juliet and Romeo
The decrepit wall, the strewn ruins, indicate the tragedy left behind: a worldwide conflict that had erased forever 'the age of innocence', reflecting themes of moral convention, surging energies and emotions. It's a background that signals watershed and the want to be reborn to total passion in order to taste until the last breath- every small moment that is life.
We are transported to an Italy that existed shortly after the Second World War, thirsty for passions previously tempered by the horrors of the past. It is still a small, quaint, and provincial Italy, whose existing ecclesiastical culture and pastoral setting nonetheless gives birth to a new bourgeoisie. She, Juliet becomes a symbol of the irresistible desire to escape from the rules of this world. The obligations that such a world imposes on her are mysterious and ambiguous, and will create in her an unstoppable want to escape of which she will find herself a victim. Romeo, on the other hand, is a shy, lonely and timid youth; totally open to the desire and curiosity that love offers, a knowing victim of the volatile impetuousness of his legendary love.
So far, yet so close to the traditional Shakespearean archetypes; all triumphantly crystallized in the classical dance traditions and scoring of Prokofiev. The two lovers as imagined by choreographer and mise-en-scene director Fabrizio Monteverde for his first 'evening' production, created in 1989 for the renowned Ballet of Tuscany, notes an important landmark for Dance Theater in Italy.
For the first time this production affirms- in an arduous challenge of producing a re- composition of a complete ballet. This writing of a completely new dance was not subject to terrible'historical' references, but is an autonomous and fiery interpretation of the Shakespearean plot, that delves with 'inspired fury' in it's sentiments and character if it's protagonists. The production's Roman choreographer, strongly influenced by the cinematic influences of the Italian neorealist (one feels Rossellini and Visconti in the production's interpretation of environment and wardrobe), explores the more constant and raw sides of human nature, drawing also from literary references (one feels the refrains of Brancati in Monteverde's interpretation of Juliet's governess). The ballet's streetscapes become a kind of human whirlpool depicting Southern Italy: lusty women showing their 'wares', a lifeless Juliet dressed with white the virginal purity of a bride ready for the wedding ceremony. At which point enter two protagonists fundamental to Italian culture, the mothers of Romeo and Juliet…
In an autonomous and dramatic rewriting of this story by Montverde, these two women become the true and absolute unmovable engines of their children's demise. The viewer is transfixed by their obsessive, cloying, dark manner: their hate, clothed in silence. These women are both the oppressors and the oppressed: the first being a kind of 'female-object', repressed and superficial the second confined to a wheelchair- bigoted and suffocating. These women become the dea ex machina of the event, with fatal consequences in the death of Mercutio. The production magnifies the strong characters of its protagonists, translates their personalities into nervous choreography that twitches with energy and suspense: it's feel is pure and without frill or ornament. The power of this production's expressivity is owing to its continuing tie to modern choreography in the tradition of Neoaccademic Dance.
"[…] a bold and well-made version […]
Juliet [is] spirited and revolutionary […]
[…] flexible and energetic, Bledi Bejleri, doesn't loose his depth even giving into his beloved without reservation."
"A rigorous production, where the choreographic research - combining classic and contemporary dance – embraces to a high quality a directing and dramatist vision.
[…] powerful dance which goes straight to the heart, enriched by literary and film quotes. Azzurra Schena (Juliet) and Bledi Bejleri (Romeo) are excellent, both aimed and vibrating as all the company is while they are all close and compact in giving the audience the Shakespearian tragedy emotions.
Azzurra Schena is a determined and passionate Juliet who offers intense pas des deux with Bledi Bejleri."

Lecture: Wendy Red Star: Apsáalooke Feminist
Wendy Red Star explores the intersection between life on the Crow (Apsáalooke) Indian reservation, where she grew up in a multicultural family, and the world outside of that environment. Her multimedia work, which includes photography, performance, sculpture, and installation, layers influences drawn from her Crow background, daily surroundings, collected ephemera and conjured histories that are both real and imagined.

Diego Rivera, communist and Mexican icon, honored with Google Doodle
Mexico's most famous mural painter, Diego Rivera, is honored posthumously on his 125th birthday with a Google doodle.
The Google homepage pays tribute to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
Google pays tribute today to Mexican mural painter Diego Rivera, one of the great artists of the early 20th century. The search engine replaced its normal logo with an industrial landscape in honor of what would have been the artist's 125th birthday. So who was Rivera? What made his art special?
Rivera was brought up by a middle class family in Mexico. Beginning at the age of 10, he studied at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City, then continued his studies in Europe.
Early in his career, he learned to apply mathematical principles to his art. This led to a long period of Rivera producing Cubist paintings. The style involved twisting normal reality – while most paintings are inherently 2-D, Cubism mixes in 3-D elements. Viewers get to see multiple sides of the same object, even though they're staring at a flat canvas. The result often looks like peering into a shattered mirror. While Rivera spent two decades painting in this style, many people forget this period in his life and only remember him for what came next.
Around 1920, he began moving away from Cubism, finding inspiration in the Russian Revolution. His work turned toward realism. It leaned heavily on politics, and his work still drives debates on how public art helps shape the social and economic crisis.
For example, take a look at his mural "Frozen Assets," painted in 1931 and 1932. The painting is divided into three sections. The top shows the familiar New York City skyline, brimming with construction, innovation, and prosperity. The middle section shows dozens, if not hundreds, of homeless people packed into tight sleeping quarters. On the bottom sits an interior of a bank lobby.
"In Frozen Assets, Rivera coupled his appreciation for New York’s distinctive vertical architecture with a potent critique of the city's economic inequities," writes the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Picture this 1930s scene. Now picture the current "Occupy Wall Street" movement. Seem familiar?
In its review of the current Rivera exhibit at the MOMA, The New York Times called the painter "one of the great artists of his time."
He also shared the spotlight with his famous wife, artist Frida Kahlo. Google created a doodle celebrating Kahlo in 2010. In 2002, Salma Hayek starred in a movie on Kahlo's life. The film, called "Frida," included Alfred Molina as Rivera.
If you are unfamiliar with Rivera's work, or need a refresher, check out the video below, which runs through slides of his work.

About Representation Matters
We see them every day. They're in ads, magazines and websites. They're stock images - the pre-taken photographs and illustrations that businesses use in their marketing, advertising and blogging.
Watch these photos pass by for a few days, and you'll notice that they only represent a very narrow range of the human experience. The (mostly professional) models in these photos are almost always white, thin and able-bodied.
Big stock photo sites now offer group photos with the obligatory one or two people of color, but how often do you see a doctor, or dancer, or banker who's plus size or has a disability?
This narrow ideal affects us. A recent study found that "70% of teen girls agreed that magazines strongly influenced what they thought was the ideal body type." Also, "Numerous correlational and experimental studies have linked exposure to the thin ideal in mass media to body dissatisfaction, internalization of the thin ideal, and disordered eating among women."
The more we see unrealistic, idealized people in advertising and the media, the more it makes us doubt the worth of our own bodies, skin colors, looks and orientations.
Thankfully, the world is changing. Customers are demanding better from the companies they interact with, and more businesses are focusing on diversity and inclusion in their stock image use. This expansion is good for all of us: Companies are able to appeal to more potential customers, and we all get a healthier mix of representation in the media-driven atmosphere in which we live.
Representation Matters is the world's first and best site for high-resolution, royalty-free, diverse stock images for commercial use. You'll find images focused on inclusion and diversity in all walks of life, perfect for bloggers and graphic designers and priced for small business owners.
About Lindley
Hi there! I'm Lindley Ashline, and I'm a professional photographer who specializes in working with larger people of all ethnicities and genders. I also run Sweet Amaranth, a Seattle-based boudoir and portrait studio.
I'm here in part because I spent ten years telling myself I couldn't be a photographer.
As a child, I was bullied. I wasn't even fat -- that came later, when puberty and my German peasant genes kicked in -- but a variety of mean kids found a variety of things to tease me about instead. It was a very difficult period of my life.
When those peasant genes kicked in and I spent high school as a size 18, the bullies had found other things to do, but I carried that terrible shrinking feeling in the pit of my stomach with me. It found a new target: my body.
Me at 17ish, in the beginning of the baggy-clothing era
I spent my teens and early 20s wearing the cheapest, baggiest clothing I could find, semi-consciously ashamed of my body and certain I needed to hide it. But someday, when one of my diets finally worked, I'd be "good," worthy of wearing normal clothes, worthy of being seen.
It was a pretty miserable existence.
At 27, I discovered body positivity and my entire world changed. It was the first time anyone had ever told me that I might just be a worthy human being even with my fat body. That I didn't have to hate myself. That I didn't have to dedicate my life to changing my appearance.
I realized that I could be beautiful.
Have you ever heard someone say "Oh, I'd just rather be behind the camera" or something similar to get out of having their photo taken? That was me. My photography developed (pun intended) in part so I never had to be in front of the camera.
When I decided to no longer treat or think about my body negatively, I realized how sad that was. I was using my talent to hide from myself, avoiding being in front of cameras for a decade. There are very few photos of me from that time period.
I started deliberately seeking out the spotlight, even in small ways. I finally took those voice lessons I'd been too afraid to start. I took hundreds of selfies (sorry, Facebook friends). I had portraits taken by a professional photographer. I pursued photography as a career myself. (Yes, I'd spent years believing I was "too fat" for my dream career.)
This is me in 2016, at 36. Celebrating after moving 3,000 miles. Being awesome while unskinny. Knowing people were staring and not really caring because I was having fun and being myself.
Now, I'm a crusader for the worth of *all* bodies.
Representation Matters began as an offshoot of my body positive portrait work. To be honest, it started as a bit of an impulse project; I thought I'd throw together a small collection of plus size stock images and see what kind of response they got.
The response? Overwhelming. There is such a need for this work. I'm glad to be the one here fulfilling it.
Got questions, or want to chat? Email me ([email protected]), or sign up for my mailing list and get occasional free photos and updates.

Plans & Pricing
What currency is your pricing in?
All prices are in U.S. dollars (USD).
What's a credit?
Credits are the currency used here at Representation Matters. Credits allow you to purchase and download images.
One credit costs $1 or less, depending on how many credits you buy at once. See the Plans & Pricing page for current pricing on credit bundles and subscriptions.
Please note that credits do not cover shipping costs. If you order an item that requires delivery, credits will be deducted for the item itself and you'll need to provide an additional payment method for shipping costs at checkout.
What's a subscription?
Representation Matters subscriptions automatically give you a certain number of credits to spend each month on the best stock image site for social and cultural diversity. That's here, by the way. (Insert your own joke about spending them all in one place.)
Should I buy credits or a subscription?
If you're jonesing for a specific photo or don't use stock images very often, buying credits outright is your best bet. However, if you use stock images regularly -- say, on your blog, website or social media channels -- then you'll want a subscription so that you can snag an image whenever you need one.
What happens to any leftover credits? Will my subscription roll over?
Yes, all credits are good for one year from the time you purchase them (or the time they're sent to you if you've got a subscription).
Any credits you purchase as part of a credit bundle will remain in your account until you use them; there's no expiration date.
How much do images cost?
The cost of each image in credits is the same no matter which subscription or credit bundle you've purchased. Not all credits are made equal, though! Here are some ways you can get discounted credits.
Note that purchases under $10 are charged a 50-cent processing fee.
For digital downloads:
• Web size: 5 credits
• Medium resolution: 15 credits
• High resolution: 25 credits
• Original image: 50 credits
Can I get a refund?
Since digital items are downloaded to your computer, there are no refunds, sorry.
Search, Downloads & Files
How does the site search work?
Typing into any search box on the RM website will match at least one of the words you enter. For example, typing the words diverse yoga will find all files that match either "diverse" OR "yoga."
If you want to find files that match "diverse yoga" exactly, type in that phrase and include the quotes.
But what if you want to find images of only diverse men doing yoga? Try searching for diverse +yoga +men. To find images that don't include men, try diverse +yoga -men.
Short version:
• Site search automatically uses "OR" operator
• Use + and - to narrow your search
• Use quotes for exact matches
What are the image download dimensions?
You've got four sizes to choose from when downloading images. The smallest - web size - is the perfect size for including with a blog post or on a landing page, and it goes up from there.
Web size: Approx. 640x480
Low res: Approx. 1200 pixels on long side
High res: Approx. 2500 pixels on long side
Original: Approx. 4,000+ pixels on long side
How do I remove the big watermarks across the photos?
As you browse the site, you'll notice that the stock photos have a watermark -- a translucent word across the center of the photo. These watermarks prevent image theft and are automatically removed when you purchase the photo.
What if I need a bigger size photo than what I bought?
Please don't try to stretch the photos to fit; they'll get all pixelated and weird, and no one wants weird pixellations. It gets awkward.
If you purchased a small size photo and need a bigger one, you'll need to go back to that photo's page and purchase it again in the larger size. Two exceptions: if you're upgrading from the smallest size all the way to the largest, and if you're upgrading more than five photos. In those cases, email me ([email protected]) for a discount.
License Terms & Restrictions
RM photos come with a perpetual, commercial use license. The short version: use them as you wish on your website, blog, marketing, or printed materials, but don't claim them as your own work or resell them.
You are also prohibited from using these photos for or to illustrate the following subject areas: negative or critical body messaging, health warnings, or weight loss.
Please see the License page to review the license you'll receive in detail.
"Royalty free" means I don't have to pay for it, right? It's free!
Unfortunately, no -- it's a common internet misconception that "royalty free" just means "free." What "royalty free" actually means is "you don't have to pay the artist a royalty every time you use their work." Take a look at the Quick Guide to Licenses to see which license is right for you.
Can I use these photos any way I want?
The license applied to these photos outlines what you can and can't do with the photos. The short version: use them as you wish on your website, blog, marketing, or printed materials, but don't claim them as your own work or resell them.
You are also prohibited from using these photos for or to illustrate the following subject areas: negative or critical body messaging, health warnings, or weight loss.
Please see the License page to review the license you'll receive in detail.
Do I ever have to pay to renew the license for my photos?
Nope! You'll enjoy a perpetual use license.
Quick Guide to Licenses
All rights reserved:This is a creator's way of telling you that you can't use this image in any way, shape or form. In other words, they've reserved all the rights. You often see this on photos over at Flickr.
Copyright: When you purchase the rights to use an image, you're not purchasing the actual copyright. Except in very specific circumstances, the copyright remains with the creator of that artwork.
Beyond the fact that it would make you a terrible person, this is also why you can't license an image and then claim it as your own work.
Creative commons: This kind of license is one way some creators make their works available for other people to use. There are a number of variations on these licenses, so you can read more about them over at creativecommons.org.
Google: Like "royalty free" down below, the internet has done some strange things to the concept of copyright. No matter what you've seen or heard online, just because you can google up an image and then right-click and save it doesn't make it free to use. Read more about why it's not okay.
Public domain: These works include those whose copyright has expired and those deliberately released into the public domain. 99Designs defines public domain as, "a photo, clip art or vector whose copyright has expired or never existed in the first place. These images can be used by almost anyone for personal and commercial purposes."
Rights managed: "With rights-managed images, your right to use the image is typically restricted, with limitations placed on things such as duration of use, geographic region, industry, etc., as established by your license agreement." (Thanks for the definition, StockPhotoRights.com!)
Royalty free: A license that doesn't require you to pay the creator every time you use the work. These are generally paid licenses, though some websites do offer royalty-free images for, you guessed it, free.
Right now, all images offered at Representation Matters are royalty free.

Alun Heslop - chaircreative
by Angie Boyer
Published: January 2008
Paul and I run from the car park, through the gardens, heads down against the driving rain. We’re heading for the long barn beyond the kitchen garden, where we have arranged to meet Alun Heslop in his chaircreative workshop. Alun throws the door open to welcome us in from the deluge. A warm golden glow comes from the recently lit stove, the earthy smell of burning wood mingles with the enticing aroma of coffee brewing. And there, on the floor between us and the stove, we see a huge, perfectly formed wooden ball, with an equally huge, hand crafted cricket bat resting on it.
The ball that has been turned to 460mm in diameter fits snugly into the underside of the oak bat. Together they become a beautifully proportioned seat, 3 metres long, which dominates the floor space in Alun’s workshop. This Cricketer’s Bench is a special commission that he’s working on, to be sited beside the cricket pitch at Belmont Park, the peaceful country setting where Alun’s workplace is located, surrounded by lush gardens and wide open spaces. Alun tells me that he usually cycles to this workshop, near Faversham in Kent. “I live about ten miles away and would rather be on two wheels in the open air that sitting inside a tin can!” He tells us about this substantial piece of craftsmanship, “I have designed the seat with an incline along the length of it for comfort and rain relief, it follows the line of the wood. It’s important that a piece like this works ergonomically, it has to perform its function as well as look good, it’s much more than just a sculptural object.” Like much of Alun’s work, this seat is made from oak. “I like to use air dried seasoned oak, which comes from Lenham oak saw mill, a place about five miles from here,“ he explains. “That means the material costs are fairly substantial, but it’s more dependable to work with than green oak, which in some instances can distort and move on outside pieces. Weather will degrade wood, sunlight and rain; oak is naturally resilient, but it does help to give it a basic weather seasoning treatment. The oak in any outdoor piece like this will eventually turn a silvery grey with age and weather,” continues Alun, “but that’s okay really, the piece is about form rather than fancy wood!”
Alun’s woodworking skills have a foundation based on his extensive knowledge and experience of green woodworking techniques. He tells me that “having recognised that maths and physics were not for me, I went off to do basic interior design, leaning towards product design as well. It was really good, but I soon knew that I didn’t want to be an interior designer, so I decided to study Fine Art Alternative Practice. For me, that involved looking at environmental issues, many of the things that are coming up again now. I realised then that art isn’t about what you do, it’s more about who you do with it, so that wasn’t for me either.
“I wanted more of a hand to eye element in what I did. So after my degree course I went more towards green woodworking. I still hold the ethics of that type of work today, it’s very important to me. I don’t do much pole lathe turning now, but I still use many green woodworking techniques in my work. More and more I want to create my own designs using traditional techniques, to make one-off sculptural pieces, a transition to much finer and sophisticated work that’s more suited to galleries and ‘exhibiting’ shows.” We visited Alun at a time when he was busy preparing for Origin in London, having already exhibited at shows like Craft in Focus and Art in Action earlier in the year. He showed us some of the pieces that he would be exhibiting at Origin; flowing, balanced designs that are not only pleasing to the eye, but also entirely suitable for their purpose. Sometimes a piece may have a hint of fragility, which totally belies the stability and strength of the structure, qualities that are created not only in the actual design, but also in the careful attention to detail in the making. I asked Alun where he found his inspiration for this delicate aspect of his chair designs, which are very different from his robust and sturdy outdoor seating. “My wife is an entomologist, so maybe it’s the images of stick-like insects that surround her work that bring these designs to mind, it’s probably why some of my interiors work looks frail but (like insects) the pieces are strong in structure”
A delivery van pulls up outside the workshop as we chat and two people from the local woodyard unload some rather spectacular pieces of wood, which Alun is drawn to like a magnet, checking its suitability for the work he has in mind. As the couple turn their attention to the magnificent cricket bat seat, Alun tells us more about his interiors work.
“I like making very dainty things that look very fragile with refined lines.” This quality may be echoed in the stick-like legs of a chair, or perhaps in the fine lines of his rather eccentric ‘Apple Holder – Waiting for Temptation’, a tripod-like arrangement, which temptingly clutches a polished stainless steel apple. That final touch, a shiny piece of perfectly formed fruit specially made by fellow craftsman David Meredith “accentuates the extravagance of it all,” says Alun about this delicate looking piece, the design for which was in reality inspired by the shape of the ventilation shaft at Dartford Tunnel!
“Inspiration can come from anywhere, civil engineering, rivers and bridges, landscapes as well as any entomological influences,” he says. “And I like to use local and native hardwoods such as ash, oak, cherry and elm, harvesting from sustainable, managed woodlands. I work with the grain of the wood using many traditional hand tools and techniques - it’s honest work, you can see the functionality of it. I like the whole sense of the integrity of the material as well as the making. Gradually people are waking up to that.” As Paul and I chat to Alun about the sentiment behind his work we realise that, at his invitation, we are sitting on one of his prototypes, a bench seat with the title of ‘Peapod’ “because the design is all about things fitting in with each other”. That sense of ‘fitting in with each other’ extends to the design and making of the Peapod as well; this is a collaborative project that Alun is working on with Sixixis from Cornwall. Together they are developing the steam bending of the wood to perfect the flowing compound bend that is at the heart of the design. “The shape dips in and rolls out, the edges roll and taper, it’s quite subtle; if it were flat it would not be so comfortable to sit on. Simplicity appeals.”
This notion of collaboration on projects follows through to another piece that Alun is making in the grounds of Belmont House. Once more dodging the rain, the three of us go out into the gardens to see the ongoing work on his Hedgehog Seat. Protected from the elements under a tarpaulin, the seat is at a low level, fitting over an old, but stable ash tree stump. Using traditional hand tools familiar to him from his green woodworking days, Alun saddle carves each section of wood into a hollowing to form comfortable seating before securing it to the tree stump with stainless steel fittings. “The whole piece is a continuation of form and line with a concentric dished hollowing, it’s very subjective, deciding when something does or does not look right,” says Alun. There are oak seating planes radiating out, creating a whole that, when completed, will have at its centre a bronze hedgehog, again specially made by David Meredith. “The hedgehog is part of the coat of arms for Belmont, so it seemed ideal for the design.”
Alun gives each of his designs a title, some appear at first to have been chosen in a fairly abstract way, but when he explains that these names are “poetic, descriptive of a location perhaps, or to do with word play and association” it begins to make sense. I get the impression that nothing happens in his workshop without reason. He continues, “I like it when pieces evoke emotions and thoughts - so they can ‘walk and talk’ on their own. Sometimes I make pure sculptural elements, to explore the relationships of shapes and curves and edges.”
The pieces we see at his workshop illustrate well the contrasts in Alun’s work; delicate chairs for indoors, sturdy seating for outdoors; some pieces made to commission, others made speculatively simply to suit himself – each piece always marked with his signature emblem and the date stamp.
“I’m working on more and more bespoke seating projects now and I really like the work I’m doing at the moment, big outside projects. The next piece is an 8.5 metres curvaceous flowing form to be placed near a pond at a private residence near Northampton. Each one is unique and a lot of fun. The bigger the piece is, the more impressive it becomes. But projects like this need to be balanced with a variety of types of work. The variation between large exterior work and finer interior pieces is a good balance. The buzz of it for me is to have the idea, bring up the drawings and see the manifest reality of the project. I keep pushing out the boundaries!”

People thinking about pushing out their own boundaries may be interested to learn that Alun also holds chair making courses, which run for 7 days on a 1 to 4 basis. “I encourage and help participants to make pieces to their own designs,” he explains, “I don’t replicate a set pattern, it’s much more enjoyable for each person to think about what they want to make and where they’ll place it. The first morning of the course is the design assessment. I gauge it for people across the board, considering individual ability to what they’re proposing and work with them to fit it to the 7 days of the course. Working on their own individual projects, participants have a much broader learning and it’s ultimately really good fun - each chair can be as imaginative as the individual who creates it. Any teaching is exhausting, as you’re giving out so much, but part of the skill from the outset is fitting the participant’s ability to their design proposal and linking it realistically with the time scale of the course. People can stay at local B&Bs or there is camping within the grounds.”
Full details of Alun’s chair making courses are available on his website www.chaircreative.com
Where trees grow, so does the spirit of the imagination. Where inspiration flows, light, life and energy radiate in abundance. We move through space and time, dynamic and fluid. Occasionally we may rest or pause, and perhaps sit down for a while. And there is the moment of contemplation. A moment to deliver a truly unique experience; to sit and feel welcomed, comfortable, elevated and perhaps even astounded. A timeless elegance encapsulated within an innovative work of wonder. By its very nature chaircreative seeks to produce outstanding and unique chairs and seating whilst minimising the environmental impact of doing so. A grounding philosophy at chaircreative is ‘working with the wood – not against it’. We design and create with sustainability in mind, as a natural part of the process. Using and understanding the material properties of locally sourced native hardwoods. It’s all about choices! Creating single pieces, site-specific installations, ‘multiple’ chair family groups or bench type seating for interior and exterior spaces. Producing dynamic, sculptural centrepieces and focal points. A pure form, accentuated. Connecting life lines through generations, bequeathed. Just a chair? No, it is a reflection of desire.< br /> Alun Heslop

Different people give different answers to the question “what is contemporary interior design”. Most people confuse contemporary design with modern or minimalist. The truth is that contemporary interior design is the only ever-changing design style, permanently connected to the present and forward-looking, always adapting to emerging trends and new design movements.
What Contemporary interior design means
Contemporary interior design ideas began to appear even before the end of the new millennium. The contemporary style took shape starting with 1970s, at the same time as post-modernism.
With influences such as Art Deco, Futurism and Deconstructivism, contemporary style is often seen as a mix of styles, without a specific aesthetic, each day bringing a new twist on current trends. Contemporary interior design style is a bridge between modern and minimalism, with a more neutral color palette that highlights the architecture of a space.
Contemporary design elements
The contemporary style of interior design is versatile, which means there is a lot of room for experimentation and spontaneity. However, there are a few key elements that make this design style stand out from the rest:
• blend of neutral and vibrant colors
• mix of different textures and materials
• simple geometric shapes and clear lines
• merge of industrial and natural elements
• decorative lighting (candelabras, suspended fixtures), as well as indirect light (spotlights, LED strips, etc.)
• large, open spaces with a hint of minimalism
Spaces furnished in contemporary style are not, however, as empty as true minimalist interiors. Contemporary designers use minimalism as a way to highlight the key elements of a space, but are more liberal when it comes to decorative objects, variations in texture and different colors in a room.
Contemporary design vs. Modern design
Contemporary interior design style favors wide and open layouts to create a sense of space in a home, as well as modern and industrial design styles. Contemporary style homes also have large windows to let in as much natural light as possible. Unlike contemporary interiors, which are much more fluid and ever-changing, modern homes incorporate specific qualities and elements, often derived from or inspired by the mid-century modern movement of the 1940s and 1950s.
Contemporary design vs. Scandinavian design
The goal of the Scandinavian design style is to create an environment that promotes contentment and simple happiness, with a focus on simple and functional elements. Similar to the contemporary design style, Scandinavian interiors use natural materials, minimalist decor and large, open spaces. However, Scandinavian design features almost exclusively light and neutral colors, while contemporary design has bright and contrasting color palettes.
Contemporary design vs. Rustic design
The two interior design styles are similar in their use of natural materials as a means of breaking the monotony of a space. But rustic interiors focus on rugged, natural and raw elements to create a space that exudes refined roughness, while contemporary-style rooms have modern, polished wood furniture that exudes a more luxurious feel.
Found in residential, office or commercial spaces, contemporary interior design is the chameleon of interior design styles, constantly changing and adapting and extremely versatile. While it has its key elements, such as contrasting color palettes and geometric shapes, this style doesn’t really set any boundaries. All it takes is creativity and the support of an interior designer who can bring life to any construction.

“Couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
Being the type of people who do not enjoy being photographed, we really deliberated over whether we wanted wedding photos. I’m SO happy we did. We went for the mini 3 hour package Stephen arrived an hour before the ceremony and left just as we started the wedding breakfast. It was perfect for us and the photos really do speak for themselves. It was a dull December afternoon but he really captured the magic of the venue and the relaxed vibe we wanted for our pictures.

Complimentary £350 Engagement Photo Shoot with Half Day & Full Day Packages
Join us on a journey to capture the heartwarming moments of your love story with Kuva Wedding Photography! We’re all about keeping it real and genuine. Our awesome team is here to snap up every little detail, making sure your special day is as unique as your love.

Let’s create some magical memories together and tell your love story the way it deserves to be told.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Derbyshire but are happy to travel across the country but our main areas are Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
Our half day and full day wedding photography packages come with the special inclusion of two Derbyshire Wedding Photographer, ensuring that every significant moment of your big day is captured from multiple angles and perspectives. This dual-photographer approach allows us to create a comprehensive and diverse collection of images, providing you with a more detailed and memorable visual narrative of your wedding.
However, please note that our micro wedding package, designed for more intimate celebrations, is an exception to this rule. While it still offers exceptional coverage, it includes the services of a single photographer to perfectly suit the scale and dynamics of smaller events.
We believe that having two photographers for our standard wedding packages enhances the overall quality of your wedding album, providing you with a richer and more complete representation of your special day.
To secure your wedding date and our photography services, we require a £200 non refundable booking fee. This non-refundable booking fee is a commitment to reserve our professional services exclusively for your special day. The booking fee ensures that our team is dedicated to capturing the unique moments of your wedding.
By submitting the £200 non-refundable booking fee, you are taking the crucial step of securing our availability for your chosen date.
We understand the excitement of reliving your special day through the photographs, and we strive to deliver your edited images promptly. We deliver a sneak-peek gallery, which includes a handful of images, within the first week. The editing process of our full gallery takes approximately 8 weeks. However, please note that this is a maximum timeframe, and in many cases, we are able to provide the edited images much sooner.
Our dedicated team works diligently to ensure that the editing process is thorough and that the final collection reflects the uniqueness of your wedding day. Factors such as the complexity of the editing and the volume of images captured may influence the timeline, but rest assured, we make every effort to deliver your images promptly without compromising on quality.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we craft a stunning collection of memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. If you have specific concerns or require a more prompt delivery, please feel free to discuss this with us and should this be achievable we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
The final payment for our photography services is due in total no later than 30 days before your wedding day. We understand that wedding planning involves careful budgeting and coordination, so we’ve set this deadline to ensure all financial aspects are settled in advance, allowing you to focus on the joyous moments leading up to your wedding.
The total amount owed for our services, excluding the initial £200 non-refundable booking fee, is to be paid in full by this 30-day mark. This non-refundable booking fee serves as your commitment fee to secure our services on your wedding date. The remaining balance that is due, in total, before the specified deadline, is the total cost excluding the non-refundable booking fee from the total cost provides the remaining balance that is due before the specified deadline.

[ot] more touching stuff.
Jul 28 2006 | 8:31 pm
I stumbled upon something which I thought would be very interesting to many artists on the list. http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/members/alvaro/Khronos/
near the end of this video, it describes a method of interaction with a projection. what they do is project an image from behind, then shine infra red light at the back of the screen. a IR camera apparently is able to sense depressions in the screen.
this sounds right up "our" ally. has anyone tried it?
at the very least its fricken amazing. -matt

New Museum Presents: IdeasCityBronx
New Museum Presents: IdeasCityBronx
« All Events
The New Museum is pleased to announce IdeasCity Bronx, a free public festival taking place the afternoon of Saturday, September 21, 2019, at Concrete Plant Park in the Bronx.
IdeasCity Bronx will feature conversations, artist talks, performances, and activations by an array of cultural agents engaging the physical, social, and economic forces that define the Bronx and other cities. Highlights will include keynote conversations by Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman and Jon Gray of Ghetto Gastro, and a series of participatory workshops organized by Xaviera Simmons, Torkwase Dyson, Oscar Oliver-Didier, Coco June, Marquita Flowers, and Monxo López and Libertad Guerra of South Bronx Unite. Pop-up activations by Bronx-based art and activist groups and food vendors will operate throughout the afternoon, organized with DreamYard, a nationally recognized community organization that works with Bronx youth, families, and schools to build pathways to equity through the arts.
Themed New Ecologies 3755, this iteration of IdeasCity focuses on the effects of climate change faced by communities in the Bronx, and the inextricable link between the conditions of our planet and the state of culture and society. IdeasCity has invited locally and internationally recognized practitioners to design interactive workshops focused on key areas of inquiry pertaining to the theme of New Ecologies. Workshops are centered on topics ranging from Waterfront De-Industrialization, Divesting from Whiteness, Borders and Migration, Housing Production and Preservation, Public Health and Pleasure, and Food Justice, and highlights include a somatic movement workshop on strategizing Resources for Resistance, storytelling performances combating Food Apartheid through agricultural autonomy, and a livestream conversation on the Architecture of Diaspora between South Bronx activists and allied groups in Santurce, Puerto Rico.
“The number 3755 refers to the 3,755 days between IdeasCity Bronx and the start of 2030, noted internationally as the deadline for irreversible climate crisis. The number also evokes a distant future, over a millennium away, one that we might imagine shaped by the Bronx and by communities that were erased or marginalized in the last millennium,” stated V. Mitch McEwen, Curator of IdeasCity. “Inspired by the urgency around climate change, artists and organizations in the Bronx are working to address structural inequality, real estate development models, and even national politics, topics that will take center stage at IdeasCity Bronx.”
Prior to the festival, IdeasCity will release a podcast produced in collaboration with Gesso, members of NEW INC, the New Museum’s cultural incubator, who have developed a free location-based mobile app for innovative audio content. The podcast is designed to accompany visitors en route to the festival, expanding on the program’s themes with additional information, conversations, and interviews with IdeasCity Bronx speakers and community leaders.
On Friday, September 20, 2019, IdeasCity and the Bronx Museum of the Arts will cohost a workshop for local and emerging practitioners that will consider the inequalities produced and reproduced by urban spatial relationships, and the shifting approaches devised by artists, designers, planners, and architects engaging with public space in the Bronx’s contemporary landscape.
IdeasCity Bronx will be held at Concrete Plant Park, located on the Bronx River between Westchester Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard. Home to a functioning concrete plant from the late 1940s to 1987, Concrete Plant Park’s revitalization began in 2000 under the stewardship of the Parks Department and the Bronx River Alliance. In addition to salt marshes, greenways, a promenade, and boat-launch, Concrete Plant Park is also home to the Bronx Foodway, a pilot project examining how a sustainable food landscape can be integrated into a public park.
IdeasCity Bronx follows IdeasCity New Orleans, which took place in April 2019 and was centered on the theme of “Everyday Festival,” and IdeasCity Toronto, which took place in September 2018 and was centered on the theme of “City of Cities.”

The zinc clad first-floor addition sits above the brick plinth, forming a collection of volumes when viewed from the street. A balance was sought between old and new, with equal weight given to the portion of existing building envelope that was retained.

The central courtyard creates an interstitial zone, which breaks up the living spaces while allowing them to remain visually connected. The interior spaces are defined by a series of layers, creating a sense of intimacy and enclosure.
Sheer curtains filter light and provide privacy from both the street and within the house.

Outside a perforated steel stair connects the house to the study, an introverted space accessed along the walkway, a tall and narrow bridge offering only a view of the sky.

Heffel’s fall 2016 collection will include an unprecedented additional live auction session featuring the single most valuable single-consignor collection ever to come to the Canadian block.
The Heffel Fine Art Auction House’s spring 2016 auction this May is a tribute to the seminal moments of both Canada’s art history and the careers of the artists who defined it.
He is an imposing figure, this walking man: fully six feet tall, naked, his stick-thin limbs disproportionately long, his metallic skin clearly showing the rough handiwork of his creator.
FROM THE ARCHIVE: How the Heffel brothers have transformed the Canadian art business.
Brothers David and Robert Heffel have followed in the footsteps of their father, Kenneth Heffel, transforming the Canadian art business. Here, they selected eight key pieces to watch for when the gavel falls at their spring auction next month.

Going Home
This was a piece that sold over the Halloween show, but I wanted to post it and talk about it a little bit. It is a departure from the last posting because, with that one, I knew the concept and the look I wanted to achieve from start to finish. But with this rabbit, I wasn't quite sure what she was going to look like until I was almost done. I knew I liked this quizzical pose, with the body turned sort of awkwardly, but as I was working one night, the clay was a little too wet to support the weight I was adding on top, and she started to sag downward. Hence the big butt and pregnant belly, which I had no idea that she would have, but once I saw it, that became a great element to her story. (More the belly than the butt.) After that her story took shape around this element. I decided she needed a strong, erect posture, hinting towards some pride and determination. The ear pose reflects this as well. Her eyes convey nothing of her inward emotions, just looking back at her wagon to make sure everything is as it should be.
Now, the wagon... I wasn't sure what she should be pulling until after she was completely done, but I settled on this as a way to convey her fortitude and emotional capacity. The wagon itself is a slapped together vessel with weird 'wooden' slats of all shapes and sizes, and rickety wheels helping it to teeter along. But the contents are all manner of little treasures I had collected while growing up, and I borrowed a few from friends who had done the same thing as kids. This was stuff like part of a honeycomb, a skeleton key to nothing, a cartoon character plastic ring, a broken light bulb, etc. To me, these things say, yes, this rabbit is a little crazy, but she also, for whatever reason, holds these things very dear and has plans for them in her (and the baby's) future.
I wish I had a few more detail shots to show you inside the wagon and some other views of momma rabbit, but this one is no longer mine so you'll just have to settle for my description.

They'll Be Lining Up
Here finally, is the finished sad dog piece. This guy went through a number of changes before I settled on what you see here. First was a minor catastrophe when I took him out of the kiln for what I thought would be the last time, and I looked on in horror as his "skin" was popping off in large flecks before my eyes. So the really crusty, kind of amazing surface treatment you see on this guy now is a result of me frantically rubbing off all the slip that was going to shed, and hitting the bare spots with an iron oxide stain, and throwing him back into the kiln one day before he was supposed to be shown. Luckily, that all worked out and he serendipitously looks better than I had hoped!
The second change was a departure from my original idea, which was to have malicious little puppies chewing on his house while he sat stoically. So he was displayed a few times on a large wooden platform with these puppies rolling around and bits of glass and "wood" from the house around them. But it was just too much and the puppies were goofy looking. Finally I decided that his pained expression, sturdy posture, and the decay of the house told the same story without the pups. I have a picture from one of those early showings so I'll post that and see what you think, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do much about it if you think I'm wrong since those pups are now somewhere in the garbage.
And here's the back view. Here you can really see the straining of the house on his muscles and skin, and the broken roof and beams. This is where the puppies were chewing and playing, but it just looked silly.
Seen Show Update!
So the show at The Seen Gallery in Decatur went really well. We had a big turn out on Halloween eve and I had a chance to meet a lot of new fans. We've had a few pieces sell already, and hopefully more to come!
Next up is the annual Callanwolde Holiday Sale starting Friday night Nov 20 and ending the following Sunday. I will have a few new pieces in this one, and the Seen has graciously let me borrow back some from them, so if you missed it there you can still see 'em at Callanwolde!
And finally, I just got my photos back from Walker Montgomery and he's done a bang-up job once again. I can't seem to create a link to his name without resigning to all italics. Hmm... Anyway, I'll be posting new pics again soon now that these are done. Enjoy!

Seen Gallery Show
After a lengthy hiatus, here's a post to tell you that I'll be hosting a show at the Seen Gallery in downtown Decatur on October 30 at 7 pm till around 10. I've got lots of new pieces that I'll be posting here after the show. Come drink wine and check out all the new work!

Spring Sale at Callanwolde!
Tomorrow is our annual spring sale in the greenhouse at Callanwolde! We'll be there hanging out from 7 til 10 for the reception with cheap wine and art snacks. Then the show will be up all weekend until about 5 on Sunday, so come check out my newest works and all the various forms in clay that the assistants and instructors have made.
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Here's his droopey underbelly and his sinewy neck where he turns away from the house being pulled off. I love his belly and it's a bummer you can't see it unless you're really looking. But as a treat for you internet viewers I'll point you right to it!
This is another dog in progress. This one sits stoically, but wincing in pain as his house is pulled from him by silly little pups (not yet pictured). I like to use dogs as characters who represent loyalty and power, much like the fierce and skinny dog who protects his house. But this dog recognizes it is time to surrender, although it is painful for him. He's still a muscular and formidable figure, but the things we create must pass on to a new generation. I want him to show he has faith in a principal, and that is his loyalty.
The Price of Safety
And the professional shot, so you can see a different angle. This was the first sculpture I made standing up on thin little legs, and I had to fire it with a large clay support on his stomach to hold him up while he dried. Getting this into the kiln was really dicey, but successful in the end!
Here's the finished version on display at the Callanwolde Holiday Sale '08! Red and Orange and dirty and angry! The sinews in his neck are my favorite part.
Here's a shot of an emaciated dog, scared and angry, protecting the house on his back. I wanted his body to look taxed from holding this house up, and the house to look like a tiny mansion, something many of us would strive for and maybe lose sight of the cost of getting there or holding on to it.

Left To Burn
One vain rabbit with a once nice two story little house, now all burnt out. This one's got a provocative little pose going and a contented grin on its face, unaware of the problems it holding on its back. By the way, if you want a closer look at any of these, just click the picture.
Side view
and a close up of the house
Foolish Bird (the cynic)
and here is the second one. I wanted him to look older and grumpier. He resigned himself long ago and has really crumbled under the weight of his tower. You can't see the back view, but his ribs and spine slowly become the beams and siding of the tower. I wanted the line of distinction between animal and structure on this figure to be especially obscured, to convey the length of their symbiosis.
Foolish Bird (defeated)
This is the finished first bird: Foolish Bird (defeated). He has a dopey kind of look on his face and some nice big fat rolls from his lack of movement. He's a lazy and sad character, content to sit and dumbly ponder his fate.
Sunday, March 29, 2009
The second piece in the series - a fat, lazy bird. Grounded by the tower he's got on his back, he just sits dopily. I wanted to make three bird, one fat and lazy (this one), one old and cynical, and one stupidly optimistic. They would all be tethered to each other by bridges connecting the towers. I have yet to make a stupid optimistic one I'm happy with, so the two I finished have just been displayed alone and flightless.
A Beast Submits
The finished piece: A Beast Submits
Clay work was done, so now just drying it out for the glazing!
Back view after the slabs were added for the house.
and the front. They were still pretty soft when I put them on so it would look more like they were melding with the skin. I thought this was important for the concept - not that the houses were just built there or fastened on, but that they grew from the animals and their relationship was symbiotic.
This was the first piece in the series I've been working on lately. The basic idea of most all my artwork has been trying to find a balance with basic human nature and the modern world. So these animals, which I try to use to represent raw emotion (ie: dog = loyalty, anger ; pig = sloth, defeat) are burdened by the structures that grow from their backs, but are ultimately responsible for them because they are attached. So the sculptures are the resulting struggle of that playing out. Weighted down birds get fat, vain rabbit ignores the house and it ends up burning... that sort of thing.

Art as an Adventure
Tony Foster Blurs the Lines Between Creative Work and Play
(page 3 of 3)
“Generally, I simply draw the colour areas and have my own shorthand for the colour to be applied (PG, BU, AC over YO for example: Paynes Grey, Burnt Umber, Alazerian Crimson over an undercoating of Yellow Ochre) or “sick”—an eau de Nile Green with a touch of Chrome Yellow.
In the end, it’s all about aesthetics—what looks right when applied. My eye tells me immediately if, when a colour is applied, it strikes a false note, so I may completely ignore my notes when I get back to the studio, and use my memory and judgment instead.”
The work then is hauled back to Tywardorth, the small village in Cornwall where he and his wife, Ann (also an artist), reside. There, tucked up against the fierce winters that visit that wild coast, he completes each painting.
Once I ask him, with his awards and acclaim, if he was considered famous in his hometown.
Foster says his mates at the local pub in Tywardorth (once described by Daniel Defoe as “a village of little note”) are mostly unaware of the sometimes exhausting and dangerous nature of his work. Or the esteem in which he is held by the larger world. And, after a prolonged absence, they might chide him about “the missus” keeping him away from his pint. Never mind that he may have just returned from an expedition to the Amazon, freezing in Greenland, baking in the Grand Canyon or suffering altitude sickness near Everest, all in the pursuit of his art. A fact he is unlikely to enlighten them with.
There is not enough room here to compile the list of Tony Foster’s accomplishments, adventures, travels, and works of art. In keeping with the British (and Foster’s) penchant for understatement, just the list of his catalog titles and major journeys from 1982 to the present may testify to the passion and dedication he brings to his work, and to the world:
“Travels without a donkey in the Cevennes—in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson”; “Thoreau’s Country—walks and canoe journeys through New England, U.S.A.”; “John Muir’s High Sierra-—a 250-mile walk in the Sierra Nevada, U.S.A.”; “Exploring the Grand Canyon—400 miles walking the Grand Canyon, Arizona, U.S.A”; Rainforest Diaries—watercolours from Costa Rica”; “Arid Lands-—watercolour diaries from journeys across deserts”; “Ice and Fire—watercolour diaries of volcano journeys”; “After Lewis and Clark—explorer artists and the American West”; “The Whole Salmon”;“Watermarks—watercolour diaries from swamps to icebergs”.
Foster’s current project (his most ambitious yet) is titled “Searching for a Bigger Subject.” With it, the artist brings huge (6’x6’) iconic works painted on site of several sides of Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon from both rims. The next major exhibition for those works is scheduled for October of 2008 at galleries in San Francisco and New York, with a show in Sun Valley being negotiated. At the same time, Foster’s large-format, four-color book, Painting at the Edge of the World, will be available.
The list above and the work before him are almost as exhausting as the journeys, presenting to us an extraordinary man leading an extraordinary life.
So we come back around to truth! And whether or not we should believe Mr. Foster when he denies the importance of his reputation as adventurer versus that of artist. Knowing Foster, first as a comrade of the trek, and now as an artist and writer, I feel qualified to say his real truth is in his work, his humanity, and his heart. The rest being moot because, fortunately for him (and for us), when the artist departs, be it for the Arctic or the Amazon, he will be unable to leave the adventurer at home.

Born and raised in the small Iranian city of Sari surrounded by the Alborz Mountains and the Caspian Sea, architect Nastaran Mousavi grew up appreciating the vast differences between the rich natural landscape and the heavily populated city. With a houseful of architects, it’s no surprise that it’s the career she landed on as well. Mousavi earned her undergraduate degree in Architectural Engineering from the University of Tehran before moving to the United States in 2011 to study for a Master of Architecture degree at the California College of the Arts (CCA). She remained in San Francisco after school and co-founded Studio BANAA, an architecture practice focused on innovative urban infill and adaptive reuse projects for real estate developers, local businesses, and community organizations. The firm is also a certified Woman-Owned San Francisco Local Business Enterprise (Micro LBE). Over the years, Mousavi has taught architecture for the Young Artist Studio program and undergraduate students at CCA, while also acting as a guest reviewer at Academy of Art University, CCA, and UC Berkeley. Today, she joins us for Friday Five to share places, designs, and things that inspire her.

1. Mazandaran
I grew up in a small but dense city in the province of Māzandarān. This chunk of land in Northern Iran is unique in many ways. It is bounded on one side by the Caspian Sea, and by the Alborz mountain ranges on the other. Through the history of Iran and the many invasions it has undergone, this land has remained majorly intact due to its geographical setting. The language (now considered a dialect – Tabari) and the culture remain mainly untouched and unaltered. The fertile lands close to the sea and the giving and rich forests along the mountains made this jewel a diverse ecosystem. My life has been split between the dense urban setting of my hometown and the rich, lavish setting of villages where my farmer relatives lived. The juxtaposition of these two very different lifestyles have always raised a question in my head on which lifestyle is really better for us and our planet? I continue my obsession with villages and micro-living and anywhere I go, my first pick is to visit a village. I believe that’s where you really learn about an ethnicity, their culture, art, and way of living. Where globalization and industrialization are ruining all these unique and rich pieces of land and their culture.

2. Brain Cells, biological microscopic forms/geometry in nature
One of my biggest inspirations is natural forms, especially the microscopic ones. I dig deep in those and love to study their structure and materials. I’m obsessed with collecting books that depict natural forms and compositions. There is something in nature that we as human beings have not yet been able to realize and replicate. Compositions that work so perfectly in terms of color and structure, functions that are harmoniously creating an ecosystem that’s self-sufficient and works on its own.

3. Tala Madani
I became familiar with Tala Madani’s work at multiple museums in the US and Japan. She’s an Iranian-born American artist and her art has a satirical theme. Her sketchy but exaggerated style through which she describes delicate relationships between people and themselves and their body, some things you might not see or touch on in everyday life are very inspirational to me. It’s always a discovery process looking at her work, which is what I like!

4. Handwoven Rugs
I come from a world of rugs, and I’m obsessed with them. Every time I travel home, I bring at least one rug back with me. I sometimes spend hours sitting on my rugs at my apartment, and it just takes me all the way back to Iran and to my childhood memories. All the effort and thought behind creating these masterpieces are invaluable. From Gabbeh to Farsh to Gilim and Namad, there are thousands of years of history, culture, art, and heritage in these pieces. I can’t get enough of them.

5. Locally Crafted Jewelry
I am not a jewelry designer or maker in any way, but I sure am a collector. I am particularly interested in jewelry made by indigenous people from all over the world. It is a type of art that really comes from people and is something that I feel should not be “designed” in the contemporary term. Any place I travel to, I try to buy jewelry from local artisan markets, where the opportunity is given to local and indigenous people to showcase their arts and crafts, not from fancy museums. One of my favorite jewelry makers is mim accessories, an online jewelry store founded by Maryam Moqisé from Iran. What I love about her mission is that she collaborates with indigenous women from different tribes of Iran (Balochi women in particular), using their craft such as Suzan Duzi (embroidery) and weaving to create authentic handmade jewelry. Suzan Duzi is a crafting technique carried over for hundreds of years amongst the Iranian tribes using natural dye to create vibrant fabrics.

Voyager The Square
This kiosk for Voyager had to be built in just 45 days. But not only that, being a small space within a much larger one at San Pedro Market in San Jose required creative solutions for brand visibility and ease of use in a high traffic area. Challenge, accepted. We positioned most of the glass windows to overlook the street and created a round bar that would stop people in their tracks from any angle (long enough to smell the coffee). Arched metal shelving echoes the broader context and colored triangular dowels shift and change with your line of sight – creating movement where there isn’t much space to move.

The fitness tech company, Zenrez, calmly sits on the cutting edge of a crowded industry. So, for us, the headquarters needed to harness that spirit and inspire its workers every time they jogged through the door. We designed the entire space – that sits within a historic building in downtown San Francisco – around a central piece we call the “spine” (no idea why). Curving and flowing through the center, it separates focus areas and collaboration spaces, while guiding people through the space. Inspired by Eastern philosophies at the heart of the brand, we kept the interiors full of light, air, ergonomic shapes, and hints of nature. Perhaps most importantly, we designed this space to grow as the company does – with the opportunity for more desk space and collaboration areas as needs change.
Mini Living
Finding new ways to house more people in a city of diminishing space, is a challenge that’s always on our minds. A Dezeen x MINI Living Future Urban Home competition asked us to consider how we will live in cities 100 years from now and propose an innovative solution for a “big life, small footprint.” We brainstormed hard, threw ideas at the wall, and worked with fellow architect and urban designer, Sarah Estephan, to consider how we could add density to a low-rise landscape. The crux of our solution was to create a self-contained mini village where work and play coexist, and space is shared like never before. We proposed utilizing backyard spaces as extra land lots to house more homes. And embracing rooftop gardens, close neighbors, small business hubs and affordable housing that feels modern, vibrant and community minded.

An innovative design that merges traditional weaving with CNC techniques.
Organized in 2021 as a digital exhibition, the Mindcraft Project features the innovative work of 10 designers from Denmark. The event highlights a blend of experimental design, cutting-edge technology, art, and traditional craftsmanship in forward-thinking, conceptual projects. One of the works included in this year’s exhibition is Else-Rikke Bruun’s ingenious Textile Veneer. The Copenhagen-based designer used both traditional weaving techniques and cutting-edge technology to create the screen. Inspired by age-old Mexican weaving methods, she translated the traditional crafts into a contemporary form.
The Textile Veneer room divider features an innovative build of milled plywood strands. Using CNC milling, the designer made thin plywood yarns and then used them to create the flexible screen. Thanks to the ingenious design, the different pieces interlock securely without the need for either glue or screws. The resulting structure has an undulating form that explores the fluidity of textiles while also creating a play between light and shadow. As it boasts a subtly reflective surface, the screen seems to glow – whether illuminated by daylight or a ceiling pendant. The Textile Veneer screen is made with birch plywood, aircraft-grade birch plywood, oil, and pigment. Designed with a light blue color, this Mindcraft Project featured concept aims to bring a calming accent to a living space or an office. Photography© Anders Sune Berg.

News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon
Wattenburg strives to keep the arts alive at college
Lauren Wattenburg is helping to keep the performing arts alive during a time when live performances are not possible.
This Thursday, she will participate in virtual performances put on by Utah Ballet and the University of Utah School of Dance.
Wattenburg — 2017 Sisters High School graduate — is a senior at the University of Utah pursuing her bachelor’s degree in fine arts in ballet, as well as doing prerequisite courses for physical therapy.
This past year, her livelihood and way of life has shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic; she is no longer able to perform or have a normal studio life.
“The entire dance world has had to adapt because we have been taken out of our studios and dancing from kitchens and living rooms and we have to get creative to keep moving and training,” said Wattenburg.
In March, Wattenburg returned home to Sisters and finished her junior year from home, using her living room and kitchen as her dance studio.
Virtual classes and intensives were made available from all over the world over the summer for dancers. Wattenburg completed a virtual summer intensive with Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet, a contemporary ballet company based out of San Francisco.
“We were all sort of out of our element, not being in the studio surrounded by people as usual in the dance world,” she said.
For her senior year, she is back at the University of Utah with her academic classes all online. Her dance classes are now in person with modifications and mask wearing and social distancing in class.
“It has been really nice to be able to be back in the studio for classes, even with the modifications,” she said.
Wattenburg and her peers in dance are putting on virtual live performances streaming from the Marriott Center for Dance Theater in Utah. Every year, the School of Dance at University of Utah puts on a set of choreographed performances with a live audience, but this year, they will be doing the same type of performance with a virtual audience watching on a livestream.
The event was made possible by the School of Dance faculty striving to give their dancers the opportunity to perform.
“They decided to go with doing virtual performances and to adapt to the situation as best as they can and get us to still have these performances,” said Wattenburg.
The performance will consist of four unique pieces, all with original choreography by faculty. The shows run for three nights, with all four pieces featured each night.
Wattenburg is performing in the third piece, entitled “Maybe Tomorrow,” choreographed by professor Melissa Bobick.
“The performance is a reflection on thoughts and feelings during this immense uprooting of reality and a chance to experience that reality,” said Wattenburg.
Wattenburg and four of her peers will be performing live on stage, wearing masks and livestreaming the performance out to audience participants.
The livestream event also gives people from Wattenburg’s hometown of Sisters the opportunity to see her perform live for her university.
“The people that previously couldn’t see these performances can now, and it reaches a broader audience — hopefully inspiring a deeper interest and appreciation for the arts,” she said.
As for Wattenburg’s post-graduation plans, she is currently figuring out how to adapt to a changing livelihood.
“My pre-COVID plans are out the window,” she said.“I was originally supposed to be graduated by now and dancing in a professional company. I have become OK with the change and being able to expand my work with the university and the academic course work as well.”
Wattenburg is currently trying to adapt to a changing world in performing arts and is excited to see how the future will unfold for the profession as a whole.
“I am learning to accept and appreciate the uncertainty of the future and will hopefully be auditioning in a professional environment in the near future,” she said.
The virtual performances put on by Utah Ballet and the School of Dance, will be this Thursday, October 22, at 4:30 p.m., Friday, October 23, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, October 24, at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. These times are PST, but on the website, they are listed in mountain time. The show consists of four sets within each performance. The livestream for the shows can be found at https://www.dance.utah.edu/virtualshows.
These live streams are free of charge and open for anyone to watch. There will also be a donation button where patrons can donate to supporting the work of the faculty, staff and students at the School of Dance at University of Utah.
“The goal of the event is to bring together as best we can and it gives a chance for people outside of Utah to see the performances from anywhere,” said Wattenburg.

Besides baseball, in my youth I was enamored with all kinds of art and loved to sketch, but was especially drawn to the places where people lived and worked. In my spare time I would redesign homes, churches and schools imagining how they could be improved, yet observing that every one of them had a particular character and place in history. As a preacher’s kid, I also learned that every person has a unique story worth hearing and appreciating. Now an architect, I believe every place has a story and I search for that dialogue between person and place in every project.
During high school, I worked as a custodian cleaning and maintaining a nearby church and school. There, I became intimately familiar with how buildings functioned and the importance of material durability. I have also had wonderful opportunities to learn the craft of building and design along side many talented architects throughout the country and internationally since 1979. Shortly after graduating from the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning in 1983, I moved to the Washington DC area earning my license in 1986. I have since worked on residential, commercial and institutional projects including Reagan National Airport. Also highlighting that period was twelve years working with Hugh Newell Jacobsen on many elegant residential and institutional projects located across the country, serving as his Chief of Staff for four of those years.
“There are not different kinds of architecture, but only different situations which require different solutions in order to satisfy man’s physical and psychic needs… Man dwells when he experiences the environment as meaningful…Architecture means to visualize the ‘spirit of place’ and the task of the architect is to create meaningful places, whereby helping man to dwell.”
