Presenting the work of more than 125 artists, it is the first volume to document the evolution of modern ceramics, weaving, furniture design, fashion and jewellery produced between 1945 and 1975 in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan and beyond. Featuring an introduction by co-curator Daina Augaitis, an in-depth historical overview by collector and co-curator Allan Collier that maps a trajectory of design practice in the region, two commissioned essays by noted scholars Michelle McGeough and Michael J. Prokopow, and artist biographies, this heavily illustrated publication is the first to address this history in a comprehensive manner.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Modern in the Making: Post-War Craft and Design in British Columbia</em> was published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery, curated by Daina Augaitis, Interim Director; Allan Collier, Guest Curator; and Stephanie Rebick, Associate Curator; and presented from July 18, 2020, to January 3, 2021.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;"> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Edited by Stephanie Rebick<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Forward and Introduction by Daina Augaitis<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Essays by Michelle McGeough, Michael J.

In the three decades following the Second World War, thousands of people immigrated to British Columbia seeking the benefits of its resource-based economy, mild climate, natural amenities and inventive spirit. This optimistic post-war environment fostered the development of exceptional design and craft practices, deeply influenced by the tenets of modernism: simplicity, fine craftsmanship and functional design for everyday use. The most comprehensive view of mid-century craft and design from this region assembled to date, the exhibition reveals how local histories, immigration patterns and materials impacted interpretations of modernism in British Columbia, while also recognizing this cultural movement’s inherent ties to colonial expansion.</span></span></span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 29px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ARTISTS</span></strong></p><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 29px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>Barbara Baanders / Hans-Christian Behm / Niels Bendtsen / Idar Bergseth / Paul Binkert / B.C.

It may or may not be of interest to you, but I wanted to include it for those who'd like to learn more or for those who know him and may not be aware of some of the following background. There is much more to glean on this site that I am not even clued into. I will have to do further research into what it all means and how to access it. If anyone is curious they can see more <a href="https://search-bcarchives.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Document/Finding_Aids_Atom/MS-1001_to_MS-1500/ms-1336.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">MS-1336<br />Peter Neve Cotton<br />Originals 1918</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">–</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">1978 5.5 m</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Peter Neve Cotton was one of Victoria's most distinguished architects. He designed many contemporary homes and business complexes, but was best known for his restoration and heritage architecture. Among the buildings he restored were Craigflower Manor, Craigflower School House, Emily Carr House, Point Ellice House, and St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Cathedral. He also refurbished the old post office in Duncan (now Duncan City Hall).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Cotton was born in Merritt, B.C. on 12 March 1918. He spent his boyhood in New Westminster and attended local schools. He worked in the design departments of several large retail stores in Vancouver and in 1939 enlisted in the Canadian Army. He went overseas with the Seaforth Highlanders, then transferred to the British Army Intelligence Branch. He served with distinction in Egypt and Italy and was discharged with the rank of captain.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">At the end of the war, Cotton enrolled at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He graduated with a degree in architecture and was instrumental in the founding of UBC's faculty of architecture. He afterwards studied design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and art history at the University of Victoria. A keen historian, Cotton also devoted considerable time to independent research at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Provincial Archives of British Columbia, and various American institutes and academies.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Prior to settling in Victoria in the late 1950's, Cotton and fellow architect, Alfred Staples, designed and manufactured furniture in Vancouver. Their modernistic pieces were marketed under the name "Perpetua." Cotton then joined the architectural staff of the provincial Department of Public Works and was involved with the rebuilding of Government House - an experience which sparked his interest in historical architecture. That interest was expressed not only in his heritage building projects, but also i</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">n his manuscript history of B.C.’s vice</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">-regal mansions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">In 1961 Cotton set up his own architectural practice, one of which he subsequently conducted from his own heritage home on Admiral's Road, Esquimalt. His practice grew substantially in the late 1960's, as public interest in historic buildings increased. Cotton's practice and reputation increased further in the 1970s, despite the fact that Cotton suffered from a circulatory disease. The disease cost him his right leg, which was amputated in 1977. The disease also contributed to his death on 31 December 1978.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">The collection chronicles the whole of Cotton's life and reflects his many interests and activities. Records include: diaries, daybooks, school report cards, undergraduate papers, and personal correspondence inward plus letters written by Cotton while serving with Canadian Army overseas, 1940-1945, financial records, business correspondence, and project files relating to Cotton's work as architect and interior designer, along with notes, reports letters, and sketches relating to heritage buildings in British Columbia (primarily in Victoria).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Architectural drawings transferred to Map accession, CM/C2008. An on-line finding aid for CM/C2008 is available by searching the WWW pages index on the BC Archives Website. Photographs transferred to Visual Records accessions 198208-64, 198303-40, 198308-7, and 198410-14. Accession 198208-64, contains items transferred from 197812-16 related to Peter Cotton, and includes ca. 105 prints of unidentified people and members of the Cotton and Neve </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">families. A box list for accession 198303-40 is available at the end of this finding aid. Accession 198308-7 contains 124 prints and 123 negatives of Peter Cotton, friends, and family members. Accession 198410-14 contains 300 black and white Cotton family photographs, ca. 1890-1969. Paintings, drawings, and prints have been assigned Visual Records item numbers PDP05433 to PDP05470 and PDP02183. These items include: designs, drawings and watercolours, and an ink and wash on paper portrait of Cotton in uniform. Additional information about Cotton, Christmas card designs and a Perpetua furniture catalogue is available in the BC Archives artist file. Samples of wall coverings and curtain material (used in the restoration of Craigflower Manor) have been transferred to the Heritage Conservation Branch, while architectural magazines and technical journals have been donated to UBC's School of Architecture.</span></p><div class="page" title="Page 2"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Related records: see MS-0351 which contains rough drafts, notecards, galleys, etc., of Cotton's unpublished history of Government House entitled "From the Ashes" and photograph accession 198207-44, Craigflower Manor restoration.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Haven't been very active in my studio this winter...not very inspired and a bit distracted, dismayed and saddened by what is happening to our country and as a result affecting our foreign relationships around the world and the direction of the political system. However, I will stay optimistic and do all I can to bring our country back to some sense of sanity and support and vote for those I know will keep democracy alive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But let's leave that subject behind so as to have a brighter outlook. My studio has calling for my attention, for sure, despite my ignoring said calls. It is in much need of clearing-out and freshening-up, thus creating a clean slate to start anew. I am overwhelmed by the prospect of the purge, but will gain more energy for climbing out of hibernation and digging-in as our days get longer with more hours of light...ah, the light...we need that light. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks for sticking with me despite the lack of posts. Keep checking is as I may just surprise you...and thanks for your patience and persistence in pursuing these pages...your attention and support are much appreciated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a close-up detail of a piece I did a number of years ago... </span><br />

Hello? Anyone still out there?<br />
My apologies for being absent...sometimes life, full of facets, pulls us in other directions...<br />
However, here I am to share more of my creative nature...better late than not at all.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.theartproject.org/about" target="_blank">Bainbridge Arts & Crafts Gallery</a></span> is under the guidance of a new director, Steve Tremble, and appears to be moving toward exciting higher visions. They previously went through some rebranding with identity and name changes and the like which resulted in a lot of various pains, but ultimately they've come back to their home-ground and have returned to who they were since they were founded in 1948 and grew from, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts Gallery.<br />
<br />
Thier recent October 2019 invitational group show, PAPER: TEXTURE AND FORM<b>, </b>in which I participated, was focused on the versatile applications of paper. Here is the description from the BAC website...<br />
<i><b>PAPER: TEXTURE AND FORM </b>- The beauty of paper is in the range of possibilities it invites and
diversity of work it generates. This is reflected in this exhibition of
17 exceptional artists: Mary Ashton, Danielle Bodine, Jeff Brice,
Heather Griffin, Victoria Foster Harrison, Lois James, <b>Linda Jarvis</b>,
Tracy Lang, MJ Linford, Linda McClamrock, Nikki McClure, Dorothy
McGuinness, Shane Miller, Debbie Peek, Jean-Marie Tarascio, Sande
Wascher-James, and Helga Winter.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Artists were asked to write an Artist Statement for this show. This is mine :</span><br />
<i>I have worked with many natural materials, paper being one of them. So having been presented with the invitation to participate in the Paper Show, it naturally felt inherent…Paper is a very fascinating material that can be manufactured or created in your kitchen or studio. Handcrafted papers from the pulp of wood or other fibrous materials carry a wonderful quality that can easily be individualized with play and experimentation. Paper’s versatility ranges from being used for drawing, printing, writing, or for wrapping as well as other artistic and imaginative applications. It is one of my favored media.<br /><br />The one paper I am most taken by is that of the paper which paper-wasps artistically create displaying color, patterns and fantastic designs born of various wood fibers they collect for building a nest. Intriguingly I have collected many abandoned wasp shelters over the years for use and examination. Undoubtedly, they are superb works of art in and of themselves. Using my inborn intrigue with this amazing raw element of natural material I created INGENIOUS ARCHITECTURE. Envelopment by the artfully crafted fibers creates a residence, a home, a dwelling. <br /><br />Nature is miraculous and never ceases to amaze me and keep me in awe. Paper is of nature as are we all.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Linda Jarvis </i><br />
<br />
<br />
Much of my work has utilized paper. I've only dabbled in paper-making,
but I've collected a various array of art papers, some of which are
hard to part with.<br />
<br />
This first piece is one that gave me much pleasure and intrigue into the beautiful paper that the industrial paper-wasps make for building their dwellings.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">INGENIOUS ARCHITECTURE</span> </span><br />
I started with a wonderfully weathered 4 X 4 block of wood I fashioned into a house shape, handcrafted paper for the roof, paper-wasp paper on the surface of the wood, beads for feet and a twig representing where the wasps build their homes. It was my commentary for bringing awareness of our natural world that is being blanketed by human-kind conduct and actions putting our environment, wildlife and various pollinators in jeopardy, thus being smothered, by our ways and negligence.<br />

All my work consists of mixed media. This piece started with a house shape I created from foam-core board with an inset then covered with art paper, 2 bi-fold cardboard pieces for the roof, square brass tube, flat disc beads, poppy pods, brass tacks, sticks, scrabble tiles for feet. In the inset niche I placed the beautiful seed pods of Genus Lunaria, aka Money Plant or Honesty branches. It progressed into my statement with regard to our protecting what is left of our natural world and wilderness'. <br />

Finished piece...NATURE'S SHRINE<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">PAINTING THE NIGHT SKY WITH NEW CONSTELLATIONS</span></span><br />
I enjoyed playing with the markings or from my perspective, "constellations" on the tissue-paper pattern used for sewing. It is covering foam-core board that I constructed into a house shape, aluminum sheeting for the roof, aluminum foil covered make-up brush, street-sweeper metal brush bristles, tacks, mica for the windows and beads. I am in awe of our continued discoveries of our cosmos and galaxies and stars and planets...oh my! <br />

This is the beginning of RED ALERT! assembling as I go...As I moved along with it's evolution, it eventually spoke it's message to me progressing into an alarm to the loss of our birds and other wild beings...how the practices and behaviors of the human-kind have been diminishing their populations.<br />
<br />
Many materials went into bringing this piece to completion...I painted a wooden egg red, added some dead lichen to a twig nest for it to rest in, all then set on a couple of paper discs from fireworks remnants, added feathers, a pastry icing cone, chipboard cone, aged paper-blind paper, wall-paper covered chipboard box, painted handcrafted paper covered chipboard nut container, more feathers set in aluminum tarp rivets, red/black boot lace metal canister top and map pins.. <br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have not been working</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in my studio for a long stretch of time now except to water plants and tidy up a bit, as evident from the lack of posts showcasing new work. Meanwhile, I've been asking for some motivation </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and have had some quiet visitations by my muse in recent days.</span> With that there have been some ideas swirling around in my head born from a culmination of various artists inspirations that have spurred me on. I am presently waiting for more creative influence to stir my imagination and to get my hands on materials to move me forward. I sure have needed a catalyst and some stimulus so it's good to be back in touch with that part of my being. It feels good to have this encouragement and the welcoming pull from my studio to be and dwell </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> there </span>a while. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stay tuned...and hopefully it will be worth your return visit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks again for your interest.</span><br />

Thanks to those of you who faithfully keep coming back to check in on what's new...I have been resting my muse for some time now so there isn't much of late to share other than images of pieces from my most recent show...read on<br />
<br />
Firstly, I hope this isn't too redundant from my post about the opening night of this show...here I go nevertheless.<br />
<br />
I created this piece, entitled PRECIOUS, for the show, CONSIDERING CORVIDAE, that I was part of back in October of last year for Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery, which was closed for two months
earlier this year for remodeling and renovation. It is now referred to
as <a href="https://www.theartproject.org/" target="_blank">The Art Project</a>. Visit their <a href="https://www.theartproject.org/" target="_blank">website</a> to see what's new.<br />
<br />
I hope this photo captured the essence of PRECIOUS. It was the second piece I created for this show...the first being CORVUS ENVY, posted in the promo announcement previously posted.<br />
<br />
As many of us know, the Corvidae family very much like to collect objects, especially those that shine and reflect light and it was my intention that this piece convey that characteristic of this amazing family of intelligent birds.<br />
<br />
Both of these pieces found homes pretty straight away, which I am happy about though sadly I didn't get to be acquainted with them for very long...only the connection I made during the creating of them.<br />
<br />
PRECIOUS measures 10 X 11.25 X 1.25 and was created in mixed media using acrylic paints and India ink and various found objects.<br />

<br />
As you may recall, if you come visit to these pages regularly, this piece below, CORVUS ENVY, was the piece I used in the announcement for the CONSIDERING CORVIDAE show at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery, that I mentioned above is now <a href="https://www.theartproject.org/" target="_blank">The Art Project</a>. <br />
<br />
CORVUS ENVY is a mixed media creation and measures 10 X 10 X 1.75<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was so delighted to be a part of this show, honoring the existence of the Crovidae family which is wide in it's variety of birds and covers so much range of our beautiful planet. </span><span style="font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was unable to attend the opening to the <i><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">CONSIDERING CORVIDAE</span></i> exhibit at <a href="http://www.bacart.org/" target="_blank">Bainbridge Arts & Crafts Gallery</a> so I missed the pleasure of visiting with the other artists and attending gallery patrons. The upside is, through various correspondence with me, one of my collectors expressed she had interest in the piece I used in my show announcement (see previous post). On Thursday morning I delivered my 4 pieces and shared with the staff about the interest in the piece and asked if the gallery would hold it till she could come over from Seattle to see it in person Friday afternoon. Graciously all the stars aligned as she was able to get there moments prior to the opening. It all turned out well for everyone as it seems the piece spoke to her and she is now the new guardian of <i><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">CORVUS ENVY,</span></i> pictured below. Thank you so much C.A.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

I am also entranced by their remarkable intelligence and impressed with their genius and mastery of tasks. This particular species of birds is one of my favored subjects in my work. One of my best-loved sounds of nature is when I am out in my woods and I hear the </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">whu-whu-whu </i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of a raven pushing air against it's wings, breaking the silence the moment it passes over me...what a gift!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In most, if not all, my 3 dimensional pieces, the achievement of depth is my goal.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks so much to all of you for coming back to view more of my work and read my musings. Your interest is very much appreciated.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello dear friends and onlookers...I hope all of you who stop by this site to view my blogging entries haven't given up on me. Again, it is hard to believe so much time has passed by since my last post. Life seems so full and so much to do and accomplish. But, here I am posting the announcement of my very soon, upcoming show with a flock, or rather, a murder of artists. I designed this announcement for self-promotion in a program called the<b>print</b>shop. If you are not familiar with it, it is a very creative program...you can review it <a href="http://www.broderbund.com/c-31-the-print-shop.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It may seem odd, but j</span>ust to entice you a little bit, I posted the announcement below in it's <i>original size format</i> thus all of it will not be showing... So be sure to click on the image to reveal the full page...the full monty! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are on Bainbridge Island during the month of October and you have time, stop by the <a href="http://www.bacart.org/" target="_blank">Bainbridge Island Arts & Crafts Gallery</a> in Winslow. </span>You will be so glad you did. They represent numerous talents from around the Pacific Northwest. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The CONSIDERING CORVIDAE exhibit will run through the 29th.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While in town, if you have not been there already, another definite must-see, go-to destination in Winslow, is <a href="https://www.biartmuseum.org/" target="_blank">BIMA</a>, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art...we are so very lucky to have such a beautiful museum for the visual arts and as well as other expressions of art. Thank you Cynthia!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, it is hard to believe it has been 3 months since I last posted...I took a blog break and a creative break while trying to recover from the election results, the holidays, and witnessing January zip<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ping by</span> and it<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> has</span> all caused me to pause and reflect a bit. I have come to reali<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ze I have still been clim<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">bing out of my <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">grieving</span> for the loss of my mo<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">m<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, over 2 years<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> ago now<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">,</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and that lingers in <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the </span>wake. The experience profoundly changed me.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All has been a slow journey. As far as my <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">pursuit</span> of <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">re-entering</span> creative energy, I guess the quest for a clean studio has been <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a good</span> therapy<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> for me, </span>long and drawn out, I might add...do I need more than I thought? Hmmm. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each time I</span> step into my studio I <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">seek</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a</span> sense of what i<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">s</span> need<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ed</span> to bring me to a place where I can tap my imagination again <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to stir up</span> the next new piece. So, I am tidying,</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> purging,</span> and reorganizing my work stations, a meditation of so<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rts,</span> so I can think clearly and <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">invite</span> my muse to revi<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">sit me </span>within all the chaos of our country, the world and within my studio. I have to say it is feeling really good to see beyo<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">nd the <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">disarray and confusion</span> in this special space</span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Creating again will be my next phase of therapy, tapping in to the realm of ins<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">piration and creative artistry for healing and hopefully bringing healing to <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">world outside me</span>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">P</span>lus, there is the rising up, doing what needs to be done and by resisting...all are definitely included in holding a vision for our world. When I googled the term, "We will rise up", I happened to c<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">o</span>me across a Christian group that recorded a song by that title. Their group name is <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Soulfire Revolution</i></span>. How perfect a title, if one were needed, for our movement at present! Our souls are on fire and our voices must be strong and we must and will rise up! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"<i>The Future depends on what we do in the Present</i>"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> -Mahatma Gandhi </span><br />

<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"<i>Do not lose awareness of the suffering that is going on in the world. Nourish that kind of awareness by whatever means possible: images, direct contact, visits, and so on. We have to do that in order to keep both the awareness of the suffering and compassion alive in us. But experiencing too much suffering is not good. Any medicine must be taken in the proper dosage. We need to stay in touch with suffering only to the extent that we will not forget. Then compassion will flow within us and be a source of energy that we can transform into action.</i>" - Thich Nhat Hanh </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has been so enriching to reflect back on the fun we had during the weekend of our Artist Studio Sale with our fellow artists as we once again created a gallery like atmosphere in GreyBird Barn. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The wonderful visiting crowds were numerous and wonderful despite the rain on Saturday that kept things a bit moist, but our spirits were high from all the generous words about our event. To quote Shane Miller, whose wonderful barn we inhabit every fall...</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">"<span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Over and over again we heard, "I never knew this little piece of paradise was down this road" ... "such a unique and talented group of artists" ... "I love your barn" ... "what an intimate setting for an art sale" ... "love the cookies." I was, and still am, overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness." The guests attendance and enthusiasm both days kept the barn warm and comfy.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">All our </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">efforts as a group go into preparing the grounds and barn to make it really shine. Then Saturday comes and it's time to throw open the barn doors to reveal our magical, creative space, in it's morphed glory. We have been at this for 7 years now so each year makes the event even better than the last. We all gather one day prior to the sale where we expend time and energy grooming the grounds and transforming the barn. It is a group effort and we all work really well together sharing the load and chores. In the below photo we are taking a lunch break before we get back to stacking wood, weed eating, raking leaves and grass, hedge trimming, sweeping out the barn of saw dust and spider webs and staging the pathway to the barn with wonderful galvanized metal items collected by Shane and buckets of fresh picked apples off the generous King apple tree on sight, and </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">enticing, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">colorful flags to lure in curious passersby. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Once we load in our goods and set up the barn in our designated areas we transform GreyBird Barn's interior into a wondrous and enchanting space in hopes to delight the senses of our visiting guests. As you can see the barn and it's surroundings takes on a whole new look once this gang is through with it. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="">Miller has been a working artist for about 25 years, starting out in large-scale steel sculpture; over time, her work has evolved to include photo-etched metal boxes and three-dimensional opening frames. She is now branching out to paper and collage work – still using some of the same photo processes she uses in her etchings – gluing tiled gampi paper onto larger canvases to create large, composite images. </span>In recent years, Miller has switched from using harsh chemicals for photo etching to a process which uses electricity – provided by a car battery – and a strong salt water solution. Miller says she’s happier with the results, and the process is far less toxic than using conventional photo etching chemicals.</span></div>

<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A thread running through Miller's artwork, regardless of media, is narrative – every piece tells a story. Her "narrative boxes" hang on the wall and open up, inviting viewers to open each panel to find out what the rest of the story might be. Miller's work is available year around at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts.</span></div>

<div class="">
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Miller came to Port Townsend in 1993 for the sea kayaking, and stayed, in part, because of the thriving regional arts scene. The barn – which serves as her studio space when it's not being pressed into service for the sale – has become a way for a group of what Miller calls "like-minded artists" to come together once a year and create an intimate, informative way of selling their work. All of the artists sell their work at regional galleries, but having "at home" time offers people a chance to talk with the artists about their processes, tools and intentions for a piece.</span></div>

<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The barn is located in a quiet, semi-rural area in little-traveled Glenn Cove, just outside the Port Townsend city limits. From State Route 20, take Fredericks Street and follow the signs to the bottom of the hill. Sale hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday Oct. 8-9. For more information, call Miller at 379-5421.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We've just walked into our Fall Equinox so it must be time to bring GreyBird Barn into it's gallery glory for 2016. We are all hoping you can make it to our event to celebrate the arts and this beautiful season of changing colors and cooler temps. And, of course, all of us artists will be present to meet and greet, answer questions so you can get to know each one of us and our techniques and approaches to our creative process, or add a new piece to your personal collection.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Life has spread me thin of late. Seems there's been one thing after another that has </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">thrown me off track</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, taking priority though still preventing me from finding my way into my studio. And, I have to say, my muse has not been visiting through these various distractions...But alas, a carrot out in front of me always spurs me on allowing me to shift gears. I am feeling The Calling again, thus I am back in the saddle and ready to ride.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That carrot I speak of is our <span style="background-color: black; color: #f1c232;">7th Artist Studio Sale at GreyBird Barn</span>. If you are not familiar with our events, take a peek at a past gathering <a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=13" target="_blank">here</a>. I won't say too much in this post other than I am looking forward to hanging out with these four other artists for the weekend of <span style="color: #f1c232;">Oct 8 & 9.</span> The line up this year is myself (Chimacum), <a href="http://uncommonwork.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shane Miller</a> (Port Townsend - it is her wonderful barn/studio we transform for this event each year), <a href="http://www.dianehaddon.com/" target="_blank">Diane Haddon</a> (Suquamish - this is her first year with us. Welcome, Diane!), <a href="http://www.loranscruggs.com/" target="_blank">Loran Scruggs</a> (Port Townsend - this will be her 2nd year with us. Welcome back, Loran!) and <a href="http://www.lynnanju.com/" target="_blank">Lynn Anju</a> (Port Townsend - this will be her 5th year with us. Always a joy, Lynn). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope you will come back soon to see my post regarding the <a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=13" target="_blank">GreyBird Barn Event</a> to reveal details in hopes you can stop by and visit and take in all the magical visuals.</span><br />

It was a bit of a struggle keeping everything aligned while maneuvering the pliers and wire as I secured the "slats".

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is the second show I have participated in with the theme being BOXES. If you have followed my blog over the years you may remember the pieces I did back in 2007. I had a lot of pieces for that show...a busy time for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You can revisit a few of these pieces via these links:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/2008/01/secrets-in-basement-treasures-in-attic.html" target="_blank">Secrets in the Basement...</a>,<a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/2008/01/forgotten-offering.html" target="_blank"> The Forgotten Offering</a>, <a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Some Are Quite Coy</a>, <a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/2008/01/tinder-box.html" target="_blank">The Tinder Box</a>, <a href="http://lindajarvis.blogspot.com/2007/11/small-expressions.html" target="_blank">Jack In The Box</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This current BOXES show opens tomorrow night, Sept. 4, 2015 at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery on Bainbridge Island with 14 artists revealing their take on BOXES. The Artists Reception is from 6-8pm. If you are in the area, stop by to see the exhibit and for a visit and perhaps a glass of wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The image below shows <i>Another Brush With Fate </i>in mid-stream progress where I contemplate what to use, such as objects I have on hand or something I need to fabricate to build the remainder of the piece<i>. </i>The surface of my work table, more often than not, gets pretty cluttered, but I hear it is a sign of a creative mind...we'll hope that is true and not something to the contrary.</span><br />

<i> </i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Again, with this piece as with many others, the sequence of assemblage is critical so as not to damage other parts as I am putting the elements together to complete it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">End result...<i>Another Brush With Fate</i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the artful world of nest building our feathered friends create their homes wherever their needs call them. Be it a tree limb, a rafter, a shoe, or perched on an old box, their designs, constructions and locations are quite ingenious and often precarious, therefore their future can hang in the balance. <br /><br />I like to add a sense fun with the use of word-play for my pieces titles, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">thus was born <i>Another Brush With Fate</i>. </span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I decided that a Jules Verne vessel would be self propelled and not be towed as a trailer so I changed the construction of the mode of movement thus using 4 wheels. The final result is what you see below.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> copyright 2015 © all rights reserved by the artist</span><i> </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For many years I've been fascinated and attracted to the design, shape and the reflectivity of silver skinned trailers like vintage Air Streams, Silver Streaks, Tear Drops and other nostalgic land vessels. My husband is as well. He took on the artistically creative task of reconditioning a 33 foot 1974 Silver Streak which we now use as a guesthouse on our property. <br /><br />I have, in recent years, constructed small, aluminum trailer sculptures, but I wanted to do something with a bit of a twist for the <i>Road Trip</i> Show. I had some metal elements I’d picked up at hardware stores on my many scouting ventures for “ingredients”, as I often call them, that attracted my creative attention. Since my husband and I were off to the coast on holiday a few months ago I packed them up and took them with me so I could refer to them while making some drawings in my sketchbook for reference once I returned to my studio to begin construction. <br /><br />The challenge was to piece it all together from all the components I had sketched, as well as locate the perfect objects from my collections in my studio and/or hardware stores and thrift shops to complete my vision. I managed to wrangle up what fit the need and strategically apply each one. To get the piece to completion, assembling the parts and pieces had to be done in a certain, methodical sequence so it all came together properly. It was a bit like a puzzle and I was happy with the result. <br /><br />In the end, it was my fascination with the many wonderful and fanciful vessels Jules Verne envisioned from his amazing imagination that was my inspiration for this piece and it’s title. I just kept moving forward with that muse which made the process of bringing it to fruition that much more fun while exercising my own imagination.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Moving through the aftermath of losing my mother I feel like I am navigating into and out of molasses, thick and slow. Though time does make each day easier I still feel a bit stifled by the absence of her presence in my world. A big void has been left behind, though she is still with me, I feel her, she comes to me in my dreams. I miss getting to look into her beautiful hazel eyes and that radiant smile she so eagerly gave, but looking at her photos brings those joyous moments back to me</span>. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Those many years of sharing a friendship
with the one person who has been in my life the longest is held near
and dear to my heart. </span>This sort of life changing occurrence has triggered some sweet remembrances that come flooding </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">into </span>my senses and bring me solace. A daughter's special relationship with her mother is like no other.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With those </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">memories comes another pull to remember and revisit my old works of art in hopes to seek my future muse to transport me into a new sense of creativity, at least I am holding expectancy for that. That window may take a while to show itself, but I am keeping myself open to receiving the call and cutting myself lose from the ties of grief when the moment presents itself. Time is a healer and as I move through the grief while still giving myself those moments of tears I am on my way to shifting into a new reality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This older piece feels appropriate for a revisit at this place in time:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How does one make the hands of a clock stop or at least slow down. When I am in my studio enveloped in what I am doing I have no sense of time...though when life pulls at me time seems to slip right through my hands and then vanishes and that window to be in that creative sphere is hard to slip into.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So here I am months after my last post. Life is so full and moving so fast it is a challenge to sit down to post something let alone get into the studio to release some creative energy...one foot in front of the other...taking moments for more meditation...more walks in the woods or on the beach...more time in the studio....more time with loved ones...all ways to make time expand and do all that makes one's heart happy.</span></div>
