Entitled 'My favourite places and spaces' the competition was based around 'Reminiscences of Childhood' - Dylan Thomas’ classic recollection of the sights and sounds of his childhood.
Following in the footsteps of Dylan, the competition asked pupils to submit a short story, poem or picture depicting their own favourite places and spaces.
Participating schools were provided with a fascinating insight into the Swansea writer’s story through animated performances of the piece by actor Mark Montinaro and word-based workshops with Dylan Day Coordinator and poet Mab Jones.

Begonia is a genus in the flowering plant family Begoniaceae. The only other member of the family Begoniaceae is Hillebrandia, a genus with a single species in the Hawaiian Islands. The genus Symbegonia is now included in Begonia. "Begonia" is the common name as well as the generic name for all members of the genus.
With ca. 1500+ species, Begonia is one of the ten largest angiosperm genera. The species are terrestrial (sometimes epiphytic) herbs or undershrubs and occur in subtropical and tropical moist climates, in South and Central America, Africa and southern Asia. Terrestrial species in the wild are commonly upright-stemmed, rhizomatous, or tuberous. The plants are monoecious, with unisexual male and female flowers occurring separately on the same plant, the male containing numerous stamens, the female having a large inferior ovary and two to four branched or twisted stigmas. In most species the fruit is a winged capsule containing numerous minute seeds, although baccate fruits are also known. The leaves, which are often large and variously marked or variegated, are usually asymmetric (unequal-sided).
Because of their sometimes showy flowers of white, pink, scarlet or yellow color and often attractively marked leaves, many species and innumerable hybrids and cultivars are cultivated. The genus is unusual in that species throughout the genus, even those coming from different continents, can frequently be hybridized with each other, and this has led to an enormous number of cultivars. The American Begonia Society classifies begonias into several major groups: cane-like, shrub-like, tuberous, rhizomatous, semperflorens, rex, trailing-scandent, or thick-stemmed. For the most part these groups do not correspond to any formal taxonomic groupings or phylogeny and many species and hybrids have characteristics of more than one group, or fit well into none of them.
The genus name honors Michel Bégon, a French patron of botany.
The different groups of begonias have different cultural requirements but most species come from tropical regions and therefore they and their hybrids require warm temperatures. Most are forest understory plants and require bright shade; few will tolerate full sun, especially in warmer climates. In general, begonias require a well-drained growing medium that is neither constantly wet nor allowed to dry out completely. Many begonias will grow and flower year-round but tuberous begonias usually have a dormant period, during which the tubers can be stored in a cool and dry place.
Begonias of the semperflorens group are frequently grown as bedding plants outdoors. A recent group of hybrids derived from this group is marketed as "Dragonwing Begonias"; they are much larger both in leaf and in flower. Tuberous begonias are frequently used as container plants. Although most Begonia species are tropical or subtropical in origin, the Chinese species B. grandis is hardy to USDA hardiness zone 6 and is commonly known as the "hardy begonia". Most begonias can be grown outdoors year-round in subtropical or tropical climates, but in temperate climates begonias are grown outdoors as annuals, or as house or greenhouse plants.
Most begonias are easily propagated by division or from stem cuttings. In addition, many can be propagated from leaf cuttings or even sections of leaves, particularly the members of the rhizomatous and rex groups.

These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, southern Europe and western North America.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family Ranunculaceae, alongside Hellebores and Anemones.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) "flower of riches and honour", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[2] In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.
In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "The King of flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "prime minister of flowers".
Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan". Before the Meiji period, meat taken from quadrupeds was seldom consumed in Japan due to Buddhism. Thus in cases where such meat was handled, it was paraphrased using the names of flowers. The term botan was used (and is still used) to paraphrase wild boar meat. This comes from the flowery resemblance of the sliced meat when spread over a dish. Another example is sakura (cherry blossoms) which stands for horsemeat.
In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. It was named after Pæon, a physician to the gods, who obtained the plant on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades (Taken from The Language of Flowers, edited by Sheila Pickles, 1990).
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.
Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds.
Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish.

CORPORATION OF PORT ADELAIDE.
A public meeting of persons entitled to be placed upon the citizens' roll of Port Adelaide was held at the Ship Inn on Monday evening, for the purpose of determining upon the persons to be recommended to His Excellency for appointment ad interim to the various Corporate offices.
Mr William James, who was unanimously called to the chair, reminded the meeting that a Committee had been appointed, upon a former occasion, to take all requisite steps for bringing the Corporation into operation at the Port.
That Committee, pursuant to the instructions then given to it, had presented the necessary petition to His Excellency the Governor, who as they were all aware from the Gazette, had acceded to its prayer by extending the provisions of the Corporation Act to Port Adelaide.
It had occurred to the members of the deputation when they waited upon His Excellency with the petition that it would be necessary to give in the names of certain persons to be appointed to the various Corporate offices, and this they had done to the best of their ability; but a letter had since been received from the Crown Solicitor, informing them that names would be required for some further offices besides those which they had thus supplied, and they had then determined to call the citizens together and take their opinions as to the entire number of offices to be temporarily filled.
They were all aware from the Gazette notice that the Corporate town of Port Adelaide was divided into West Ward and East Ward, the Commercial Road forming the boundary between the two. They would have that night to nominate a Mayor for the entire Corporation, and, for each ward, an Alderman, three Councillors, two Assessors, and a Collector. They would further have to nominate, for the entire Corporation, two Auditors, and a Town Clerk.
These had better, perhaps, be taken in their order, and he would first call upon them to nominate a fit person for Mayor.
Mr Grosse moved that the meeting should simply elect Councillors, and leave to them the appointment of the Mayor and Aldermen. That would be the system under the Act when the permanent appointments were made, and he saw no reason why the rule so laid down should be departed from.
The Chairman would leave it entirely to the meeting.
Mr Smith preferred the plan the Chairman had suggested. He moved that the meeting proceed at once to the nomination of the Mayor.
Mr Calton seconded this. It would be casting their franchise to the wind to leave the appointment of Mayor in the hands of eight men.
The Chairman thought it proper to explain that there was nothing irregular in Mr Grosse's motion, though it was not seconded. There was not really any franchise in the case, as they were at present only meeting recommend persons to His Excellency for appointment and when the permanent appointments were to be made they would, as Mr Grosse had said, vest in the Councillors, not in the citizens at large.
Captain French was declared elected for nomination as Mayor ad interim.
West Ward nominations:-
Alderman Mr Bower
Councillors – Walter Smith, Grosse, and Collinson.
East Ward nominations:-
Alderman – John Smith
Councillors – France, Galway and Cave.
The two Assessors for West Ward – Robert Murray and W F Webster.
The two Assessors for East Ward – C Boykett and J Giles.
Collectors – explained as a paid office. Mr Perry elected for West Ward, and Mr Graham for East Ward.
Auditors – as it was understood that the ad interim Corporation would be
without funds, their office would, of course, be only honorary:
Mr Ferguson and Mr Calton were appointed.
Nominations for Town Clerk – the only persons nominated were William Boykett and the Chairman himself, and both immediately withdrew, Captain France being temporarily called upon to preside.
After a show of hands Mr Boykett declared the nomination for Town Clerk.
A vote of thanks was passed to Mr James for his conduct in the chair, and for the exertions he had used in securing the extension of the Corporation Act to Port Adelaide.
The Ship Inn was on the south side of North Parade, between Nelson and Mildred Streets, Port Adelaide. Established in 1840, destroyed by fire 1857, rebuilt on same site. Stopped trading 1909. From June 1840 to March 1841 it was known as the Help Me Through the World Inn. John Smith was the owner from 1860 to 1884.

In July 1937 an exhibition entitled Entartete Kunst, in Italian Degenerate Art, curated by Adolf Ziegler (Bremen, 1892 - Varnhalt, 1959) was mounted in Munich at the Hofgarten Institute of Archaeology. The latter was an artist of the Nazi regime who headed the Reich Chamber for the Visual Arts, with the aim of popularizing the regime’s German art. Through art the idea of race was spread better than through words; it was to serve as an example. At the same time, however, art had spread, in his view, that had caused degradation, the weakening of morals: hence the definition of “degenerate art,” guilty of deviating from the true purpose of art, and as such was to be repressed. It was for this reason that one of the most significant ideologues of the totalitarian defense of art, Wolfgang Willrich (Göttingen, 1897 - 1948), wrote in 1937 a pamphlet, Säuberung des Kunsttempels, meaning “Cleansing of the temple of art,” according to which it was necessary to withdraw from German museums all works belonging to degenerate art. It was Willrich himself who called Freundlich a Bolshevik as an artist who had contributed to the “red” contamination of art, its Bolshevization.
Returning to the Entartete Kunst exhibition, the symbol of the latter became precisely the Great Freundlich Head, since an image of the sculpture had been reproduced on the cover of the exhibition catalog, to which, however, the title had been changed to Der neue Mensch, or The New Man, recalling in a negative sense the theories underlying the art and society of the author of the work depicted. The sculpture was derided by many artists and critics, both because of its author’s Jewish origins and because of the facial features depicted. In keeping with the “cleanliness of art” mentioned above, fourteen of Freundlich’s works that had entered the collections of German public museums were seized; among them, of course, was the Great Head, which was probably destroyed by the Nazis. It was never found again.Racial hatred led to the elimination and destruction of many works of art, of which there is therefore no trace left today except the tale of a painful affair. There is, however, a fact to be added to reflect on: of this great sculpture it is possible to tell the story, since it is significant and well-known, making it still possible to view it through photographs and documents, but of so many other works, whose history is less relevant or little known, traces have been completely lost forever.
One of the artist’s works to have been miraculously spared is the mosaic entitled Die Geburt des Menschen, translated The Birth of Men, executed in 1919. It is a central work in Freundlich’s production because it closes his early, still figurative path and anticipates abstractionism: indeed, one can see a coordinated rhythm of vivid colors and a continuous relationship between the complete work and the detail, an aspect that attests to the mutual connection between man and the world, the focus of his thought. The mosaic was originally intended for the villa of tobacco merchant Josef Feinhals in Marienburg, a district of Cologne, but was never placed there; in 1954 it was donated to the city and installed in the lobby of the Cologne Opera House. A recent exhibition held in 2017 in the city’s Museum Ludwig presented it as a major feature.
To the mosaic can be added the canvas Mein Himmel ist rot ( “My Sky is Red”), which right from its title contains a political statement on the part of the artist and was created through juxtapositions of juxtaposed color boxes, imitating the mosaic technique. Painted in Paris in 1933 and exhibited that same year at the Salon des Indépendants, it was donated in 1953 to the French state by Jeanne Kosnick-Kloss, Otto Freundlich’s partner.

Stine Goya presented her AW13/14 collection entitled "Le Voyage Dans La Lune" at the Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art. Corresponding to the location (the exhibition space) the models were giving a particular position inside the three rooms of the art museum: showcased like the objects of art (that you would usually expect to see at the art museum) models were holding their static poses just like the sculptures and only from time to time they would turn around giving the visitors possibility to see the garments from the different point of view. The models looked like mechanical dolls. It was whimsical and uncanny at the same time.
The title of the collection reveals that the presentation and the collection as well were clearly inspired by Georges Méliès' movie "Le Voyage Dans La Lune" from 1902.

Especially the jewellery, the prints and the appliqué work indicate the connection to the fantasy world of Méliès. Also the color palette (a lot of gold and glitter, saturated red and purple, and candy colors such as soft pink, peach and cream) invites you to delve into the dreamy fantasy world. Childhood memories and fantasies (candies, fairy tales), night sky, golden moon - a shiny happy world as if you would once again see the reality through rose-colored glasses, believe in dreams and magic.
I liked that idea of the designer to offer the garments to the public that would or could create/wake a magic atmosphere of the childhood dreams and memories or just stress once again how much fantasy and creativity human beings possess.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Begonia is a genus in the flowering plant family Begoniaceae. The only other member of the family Begoniaceae is Hillebrandia, a genus with a single species in the Hawaiian Islands. The genus Symbegonia is now included in Begonia. "Begonia" is the common name as well as the generic name for all members of the genus.
With ca. 1500+ species, Begonia is one of the ten largest angiosperm genera. The species are terrestrial (sometimes epiphytic) herbs or undershrubs and occur in subtropical and tropical moist climates, in South and Central America, Africa and southern Asia. Terrestrial species in the wild are commonly upright-stemmed, rhizomatous, or tuberous. The plants are monoecious, with unisexual male and female flowers occurring separately on the same plant, the male containing numerous stamens, the female having a large inferior ovary and two to four branched or twisted stigmas. In most species the fruit is a winged capsule containing numerous minute seeds, although baccate fruits are also known. The leaves, which are often large and variously marked or variegated, are usually asymmetric (unequal-sided).
Because of their sometimes showy flowers of white, pink, scarlet or yellow color and often attractively marked leaves, many species and innumerable hybrids and cultivars are cultivated. The genus is unusual in that species throughout the genus, even those coming from different continents, can frequently be hybridized with each other, and this has led to an enormous number of cultivars. The American Begonia Society classifies begonias into several major groups: cane-like, shrub-like, tuberous, rhizomatous, semperflorens, rex, trailing-scandent, or thick-stemmed. For the most part these groups do not correspond to any formal taxonomic groupings or phylogeny and many species and hybrids have characteristics of more than one group, or fit well into none of them.
The genus name honors Michel Bégon, a French patron of botany.
The different groups of begonias have different cultural requirements but most species come from tropical regions and therefore they and their hybrids require warm temperatures. Most are forest understory plants and require bright shade; few will tolerate full sun, especially in warmer climates. In general, begonias require a well-drained growing medium that is neither constantly wet nor allowed to dry out completely. Many begonias will grow and flower year-round but tuberous begonias usually have a dormant period, during which the tubers can be stored in a cool and dry place.
Begonias of the semperflorens group are frequently grown as bedding plants outdoors. A recent group of hybrids derived from this group is marketed as "Dragonwing Begonias"; they are much larger both in leaf and in flower. Tuberous begonias are frequently used as container plants. Although most Begonia species are tropical or subtropical in origin, the Chinese species B. grandis is hardy to USDA hardiness zone 6 and is commonly known as the "hardy begonia". Most begonias can be grown outdoors year-round in subtropical or tropical climates, but in temperate climates begonias are grown outdoors as annuals, or as house or greenhouse plants.
Most begonias are easily propagated by division or from stem cuttings. In addition, many can be propagated from leaf cuttings or even sections of leaves, particularly the members of the rhizomatous and rex groups.

This photographic portfolio entitled "THE MAASAI" is the result of a period of one month lived with them from Kenya to Tanzania. Earth, fire, sun, blood: red is the color of the Maasai. Red is the earth, “Osinyai”, of the rough path that, a two hour drive from Nairobi, plunges into the Kenyan highlands crossed by arid rivers, in this ignored corner of the bush. A dozen low and narrow huts made of branches covered with a mixture of earth and dung, which the women build and rebuild that do everything, housing, food and milking the cattle. Tattered children dressed in variegated fabrics, old cloths draped in colorful fabrics, sparkling pearl necklaces and bracelets.
In the land of the Maasai, nothing is the same as before: the extension of the outskirts of the capital, first of all, has made these nomads withdraw, fleeing from civilization and refusing to mix with other ethnic groups. They bought their land which these shepherds, indifferent to land ownership and reluctant to agriculture, abandoned. The state created huge animal reserves, which further expropriated them of their territories. Gradually they withdrew to Tanzania, where today they emigrate in large numbers, there were also those years of terrible drought, which saw their herds wither.
Seth Brown, PhD Candidate, Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, George Mason University. Seth’s talk entitled “To Green or Not to Green: Modeling Incentive-based Programs for Green Infrastructure Investment on Private Properties"
Abstract: Communities are in need of cost-effective and innovative strategies for stormwater management infrastructure investments. This need is driven by the fact that stormwater pollution is the only major source of increasing water pollution across much of the country including sensitive waterbodies such as the Chesapeake Bay. In reaction to this significant and growing source of water pollution, regulations at the Federal, State and local level continue to become more stringent, the level of treatment for runoff continues to increase. This reaction by the regulatory sector is driving an increase in stormwater infrastructure investment needs. The use of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and retention-based standards is on the rise across the U.S., but it is still considered a novel or innovative approach in many areas. The basis of the interest in GSI from the stormwater and wet weather sector is based upon the premise that retaining water on-site is more cost-effective in addressing issues such as combined sewer overflows (CSOs), treats the pollution within runoff while replenishing groundwater resources, and provides co-benefits water quality and quantity treatment, such as improved air quality, enhanced property values, and improved social well-being.
Considering that the goal of GSI is to retain runoff on-site, which is a decentralized approach to stormwater management that impacts significant segments of the landscape, the issue of treating stormwater on all types of properties, including private property is on the rise. This issue is multiplied for regulated entities who cannot meet regulatory requirements by implementing GSI on publically-owned land alone. For this reason, some municipalities are investigating the use of incentive-based programs to address the significant amount of stormwater runoff treatment required in permits. Understanding how incentive-based programs function requires a method of analysis reflecting the disaggregated and varying nature of decision-making by individuals, which can be irrational, inconsistent and driven by both monetary and non-monetary factors. Unlike idealized and mechanized systems, the dynamics associated with large populations of individual decision-makers is inherently non-deterministic. The field of computational social science has arisen to simulate how large populations of decision-makers behave, and what patterns emerge based upon varying initial conditions by using tools such as cellular automata and agent-based modeling (ABM). This approach is consistent with the investigation investment policies and strategies associated with the GSI adoption at the site level by private property owners, which is at the heart of the proposed research associated with this presentation.
The presentation will provide an overview of a methodology developed to simulate the amount and distribution of GSI investment in a given area based upon the use of incentive-based frameworks, such as a traditional fee/credit approach as well as non-traditional approaches, with an example being the Stormwater Retention Credit program established recently by the District Department of Environment (DDOE) that proposes to trade retention “credits” across the District to take advantage of cost heterogeneity and generate GSI implementation in area that can stand to benefit the most from the environmental, economic and social benefits associated with this infrastructure. Policies and strategies associated with these approaches, such as subsidies, project aggregation and escalating fee and rebate scales, will be discussed as well.
Choco is a 12-pound Tuxedo Cat. He's a boss cat and feels entitled to do things that he's not supposed to do, like sit on the stove. The stove is dangerous. But Choco loves to sit on the stove and go over to the window, just behind him in the picture, poke his nose through the plants (a Pothos), and look out the window.
He's pulled this stunt before. Compare the pictures. I think Choco feels that he's become more entitled.

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

In 1879, Auguste Rodin entered a terra-cotta sketch entitled A Call to Arms in a competition to create a monument in memory of all Frenchmen who died in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Despite Rodin’s painstaking effort, he did not even receive honorable mention. The piece was seen as too rough and violent for a public area, and it clashed with the calmness of the peaceful reconciliation and reconstruction in France.
The piece, however, is highly emotional and captivating. The winged figure, representing the spirit of the war and the Liberty of France, is rallying her forces in a passionate battle cry. The wounded soldier slumps in defeat against Liberty, clutching his side in pain. The influence of Michelangelo on Rodin’s work is apparent in the way that the male figure is rendered. The dying warrior’s head is bent back sharply and his left knee juts forward, inspired by Michelangelo’s unfinished Saint Matthew and even the Christ figure of the Pieta in Florence’s Duomo.
Many models of the work exist in several sizes and mediums. This particular model is a cast bronze enlargement. One can imagine the effect that a full-sized sculpture would have had on the viewer since the smaller version is still so powerful. A Call to Arms was actually commissioned as a public monument in 1916, but as a commemoration to the battle of Verdum.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandevilla
Mandevilla, sometimes also called Dipladenia,[1] is a genus of plants. It consists of about 100 species, mostly tropical and subtropical flowering vines belonging to the family Apocynaceae, the Periwinkle family.
Mandevilla is native to Central and South America and many Mandevillas come originally from the Organ Mountains forests near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The genus was named after Henry Mandeville (1773-1861), a British diplomat and gardener.[1]
Mandevillas develop spectacular flowers in warm climates. The flowers come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, and red. As climbers, Mandevillas can be trained against a wall or trellis to provide a leafy green and often flowering picture of beauty. They have a tendency to attract insects like mealybugs and scales.
While Mandevilla scabra is sometimes as an additive to the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca, there is no evidence that it is psychoactive in its own right.[2] It is, however, considered to be toxic.[3]

Cast stone relief entitled "Pony Express and Rural Delivery" created by Vincent Glinsky in 1940. The postal service moved out of the old PO around 1969. All the literature in books and online lists this artwork as "missing". It remained in the old PO after it was sold to a private individual. The current "owner" removed the piece in the last few months due to someone trying to break into the old PO--he was concerned they would damage the artwork. He hopes to loan the piece to a museum for display but it currently is in his garage.
