"Crossing to Freedom", Jane Burch Cochran
By Marilyn Bauer
Enquirer staff writer
Jane Burch Cochran's art quilts are known for their sparkling embellishments, vibrant colors and potent depictions of everyday life. She combined her training as a painter with her love of fabric and her skills in sewing and beading to create the 7-by-10-foot quilt "Crossing to Freedom," which hangs at the Group Entrance to the Freedom Center.
Her process is mind-boggling and free-flowing - she never cuts or measures, but simply begins sewing and allows the story to evolve on its own. This work took nine months of nearly daily work to complete.
Among the symbolic images in "Crossing to Freedom" is a painted blue canvas that snakes through the fabric patches and morphs from a star-lit sky into the Ohio River. Strips made from clothing - a child's shirt, a woman's blouse, gloves and African fabrics - represent slaves who made the journey to freedom.
"I use common symbols and quilt patterns and recycle old gloves and other materials to create a new narrative," the 60-year-old Rabbit Hash native says.
In 1964, Cochran was one of 10,000 people who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Frankfort in support of civil rights. The upper right corner of "Crossing to Freedom" includes a button from that march, bridging the gap between the slavery-era struggle for freedom and the early civil rights era.
I started making small bead and fabric collages in 1978. The first fabrics I used were painted canvas and my father’s neckties. The first large quilt I made was in 1985, and I have been completely obsessed with making art quilts since then.
I have been fortunate to be a full time artist since 1980. Once I had more time to spend on my work, instead of making more quilts, I made quilts that took more time. I love doing labor intensive art work --- it is an odyssey. After working several months on a quilt, if I don’t think it is working then I must not cast it aside but “fix it”. I often do this by building up and adding more embellishments and paint rather than taking it apart. I do have patience and a vision --- which keep me going.

Crossing Mnisose (“minne-show-she”) tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans named the “Missouri River”) and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors. From celebrated playwright, activist, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee Nation), whose Manahatta captivated audiences at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

St Mary, Kemp Town, Brighton
St Mary is one of three vast Anglo-catholic temples built in Brighton in the late 19th Century to serve the rapidly growing terraced streets of the poor. The other two are St Bartholomew off of London Road and St Martin on Lewes Road. St Mary does not keep that tradition of worship, but enough survives in its High Church fixtures and fittings to give a sense of what once was.
This is the only English church by the colonial architect William Emerson, who was mostly responsible for churches and railway stations in India. The interior, larger than that of St Bartholomew although of course by no means as tall, is made to seem more cavernous by the vaulting of the nave and crossing. The view to either east or west is towards grandness, but the space in between feels very empty, not helped by the large Dec windows filled with deep coloured stained glass windows by a variety of 19th Century workshops, mostly good in themselves but comprising an uneasy overall scheme.
The church is used regularly for concerts in this part of town which no longer feels independent or suburban, for the city centre has crept up St James Street to meet it.

The Tongariro Crossing, in the Tongariro National Park, one of the best and most popular day hikes in New Zealand. The well trodden path can be seen descending, but it's the tiny figures on the snow (lower left) that give a sense of scale to the unusual landscape. October 2010. © David Hill

This shopping center was built in 1980 as Crossroads Shopping Center.
Tredington Crossing is located between Cheltenham and Ashchurch. The crossing keeper's lodge dates from the opening of the line by the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway in 1840. It may have originally been a single storey building with the second storey added at a later date. The design is clearly derived from a roadside tollhouse and all the original windows were narrow and situated on the railway side of the building only - a result of the unpopular window tax which was not repealed until 1851. Unfortunately the narrow, paired windows on the top floor have been replaced by larger modern units.
When this picture was taken on 8th August 1989 the crossing was in the process of being automated and the building had been vacated prior to demolition, which occurred the following year.
A similar crossing lodge survives at nearby Brockhampton and another of very similar design but built by the Bristol & Gloucester Railway can be found at Oldends Lane Crossing, Stonehouse.

A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, resembling the coat of a zebra. A zebra crossing typically gives priority to pedestrians.
Zebra crossings were originally introduced in law by section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 1934.
Although the origin of the name is disputed, it is generally attributed to British MP James Callaghan who, in 1948, visited the country's Transport Research Laboratory which was working on a new idea for safe pedestrian crossings. On being shown a black and white design, Callaghan is said to have remarked that it resembled a zebra.
After isolated experiments, the zebra crossing was first used at 1,000 sites in the United Kingdom in 1949 in its original form of alternating strips of blue and yellow. They were introduced nationally in 1951.
In 1971, the Green Cross Code was introduced to teach children safer crossing habits, replacing the earlier "kerb drill".
A herd of Holstein-Friesian cows crossing a road at a dairy farm on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County, California. No traffic monitor......the seemingly endless stream of cows simply cross the road at will....cars proceed with caution.
Point Reyes on the coast of Marin County in Northern California is a 100-square-mile peninsula of dark forests, wind-sculpted dunes, endless beaches and plunging sea cliffs. In the area east of Tomales Bay are located a number of old dairy farms that were established in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. In 1846, after California had attained statehood, the entire peninsula was divided into more than 30 tenant dairy ranches. That legacy is still evident today from the 15 remaining historic working ranches in the park's 'Pastoral Zone'. Most of the original dairy ranches were named utilizing the letters of the alphabet while some were bequeathed more poetic names like 'Drake's Head', 'Muddy Hollow', 'Oporto' and 'Sunnyside'.
