A vision of yesterday’s tomorrow.
Westin Bonaventure Hotel,
Los Angeles,
California, USA
2015/06/19
During part of this years E3 business trip my team was lucky enough to stay at the landmark Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
The building is a striking vision of the future designed by architect John C. Portman, Jr and built in the mid 1970’s.
It’s main structure consists of four giant glass cylinders flanking a central hub with a myriad of interconnected walkways and bridges.
The space within is as mesmerising as it’s external reflections with natural light pouring in through giant skylights bouncing off concrete pillars and curved walkways.
If it feels familiar, it might be because you recognise it from one of the numerous TV shows and movies shot there.
From “True Lies” to “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” and most recently used as the NASA facility and rocket launch bay in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Interstellar.”

The sculpture "Turning Forms, 1950-51" was commissioned for the Riverside Restaurant at the Festival of Britain". Made of white painted concrete on a steel armature it was originally a kinetic sculpture, ie. it rotated on its axis.
the forms are inspired by the traditional Nguni artifacts,
mainly clay and wooden storage vessels.
The gracious simplicity of these forms is classical and is being reinterpreted into contemporary art pieces
for a contemporary lifestyle.
The surface treatment is inspired by an old African traditional called body scarification.
this piece falls under the;
AFRICASSO-RANGE; While studying the history of art, I came across dif ferent artists that I could identify with, based on their philosophy; technique; use of color and their interpretations of life. Pablo Picasso is one of those great artists that are influential within my work along with Joan Miro; Salvador Dali and others. Using these influences, I am able to interpret and convey my childhood; mythical and everyday stories.

This is actually a really pleasing shot for me. So many of the larches have been cleared from Wentwood to prevent the spread of the Larch fungal disease, and yet the native broadleaves have been left. Areas like this will naturally regrow with broadleaf seedlings, and areas without any broadleaves will be planted with a native species mix. Despite the devastation, I can see hope for the future of Wentwood.

VENEZA - BASILICA DI SAN MARCO - Mosaico do arco superior, lado esquerdo, em detalhe.
Em forma de cruz grega e coroada com cinco enormes domos, a famosa Basílica de Veneza mistura os estilos arquitetônicos e decorativos de Oriente e Ocidente, para criar uma das mais gloriosas construções da Europa. Mosaicos de distintas épocas adornam os cinco portões em arcos, e o portal principal é emoldurado por belos entalhes românticos feitos entre 1240 e 1265. Os mosaicos do interior, que ocupam 4.240m², são, na maioria, dos séculos 12 e 13. Alguns foram substituídos mais tarde por obras de Ticiano e Tintoretto. Até 1807, a Basílica era a capela particular do Doge, usada para cerimônias oficiais. Depois, sucedeu San Pietro di Castello como a Catedral de Veneza. Algo curioso: em 1075, os navios que voltavam do exterior eram obrigados por lei a trazer um presente precioso para enfeitar “a Casa de São Marcos”, o que tornou a Basílica uma das mais ricas da Europa.
A primeira Igreja construída no local foi um edifício temporário, construído em 828, quando mercadores venezianos adquiriram de Alexandria (Egito) as supostas relíquias de São Marcos Evangelista. Em 832, um novo edifício foi erguido, no local da atual Basílica, mas uma rebelião em 976, a Igreja foi incendiada. Reconstruída em 978 e, mais uma vez, em 1063. A sua consagração se deu em 1094, no mesmo ano da descoberta milagrosa em um pilar da Basílica do corpo de São Marcos, que havia sido escondido durante o trabalho em algum lugar, em seguida, esquecido. Em 1231, um incêndio destrói a Basílica mais uma vez, e restaurada imediatamente.
A Basílica de hoje, cujas cinco cúpulas misturam estilos bizantinos, românticos e renascentistas, é muito semelhante ao da antiga Basílica dos Santos Apóstolos em Constantinopla, destruída alguns anos após a conquista Otonama. Ricamente decorada com mosaicos, frisos de mármore, esculturas, revestimento interno com milhões de peças de ouro, dizia-se que grande parte da poeira em suspensão no ar da Basílica, era de ouro, e talvez fosse mesmo. Os cavalos de bronze que decoram a fachada, trazidos do Hipódromo de Constantinopla, atual Istambul, são réplicas, os originais encontram-se no interior da Basílica, no museu. (Em 1797, Napoleão invade a cidade e leva os cavalos para Paris, colocando-os em cima do Arco do Triunfo, mas já devolvidos à Basílica em 1815). Os majestosos cavalos foram acrescentados à decoração em torno de 1254, onde permaneceram (os originais) até 1990. (Os colares decorativos foram adicionados em 1204 pelos venezianos para esconder o corte devido à decapitação dos cavalos, para facilitar o transporte efetuado por via marítima de Constantinopla, durante o saque patrocinado pela Quarta Cruzada).
OS TESOUROS DE SÃO MARCOS: Uma coleção brilhante que consiste de 283 peças, incluindo ícones, jóias e taças preciosas, a maioria delas roubadas durante o saque de Constantinopla. A peça mais famosa e a mais preciosa do mundo, chama-se: PALA D’ORO. Esta preciosa peça coberta de jóias fica atrás do Altar-Mor. São 250 pinturas esmaltadas sobre folhas de ouro com uma moldura gótica de prata dourada, encomendada em Bizâncio em 976. É um grande “pano de ouro e prata”, uma espécie de “tapeçaria” criada da fusão de obras de diferentes períodos ao longo dos séculos. O frontal, decorado com mais de 500 pérolas, 300 safiras, esmeraldas, ametistas, rubis... é considerado, juntamente com os cavalos, um dos tesouros mais importantes de Veneza. (Napoleão também roubou algumas dessas pedras preciosas em 1797, mas a tela “Pala d’Oro”, ainda brilha, e que brilho!).

Core-formed glass, Late Classical, mid-4th-3rd century B.C.E.
The size of this core-formed glass jug is exceptional. The vast majority of surviving examples are relatively small by comparison. This piece can rightly be regarded as a tour de force, made as a special commission for someone who could afford to have only the best and biggest.

Hathor sous plusieurs formes (Hathor in several forms).
From Wikipedia:
"Hathor was an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of love, beauty, music, motherhood and joy. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life.
In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners.
The cult of Hathor pre-dates the historical period and the roots of devotion to her are, therefore, difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults who venerated the fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.
Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with head horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat necklace. Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is "housed" in her.
The Ancient Egyptians viewed reality as multi-layered in which deities who merge together for various reasons, whilst retaining divergent attributes and myths, were not seen as contradictory but complementary.
In a complicated relationship Hathor is at times the mother, daughter and wife of Ra and, like Isis, is at times described as the mother of Horus, and associated with Bast.
The cult of Osiris promised eternal life to those deemed morally worthy. Originally the justified dead, male or female, became an Osiris but by early Roman times females became identified with Hathor and men with Osiris.
The Ancient Greeks identified Hathor with the goddess Aphrodite and the Romans as Venus."

I LOVE this little guy. Remember the giant baby in Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi)? This is Boh when he's been transformed into a rat. I don't think he ever knits in the film, but I love to knit and when I found this at an anime shop in Ohio many years ago, I had to buy it. He's traveled with me ever since, inhabiting every dormroom I've lived in and my current apartment.
Adventures in Seeing - Humility (1)
These are a few of my favourite kitchen tools... simple, functional, unadorned... producing such humble fare as biscuits, scones, and apple crisp. Baking with these simple hand tools brings me in touch with the process and the feel of what I'm making, a sensation I don't get when using more high-tech gadgets.
