Much of York's layout is the result of Roman and Viking construction but one iconic feature is distinctly Norman. The original mound of Clifford's Tower, with a timber structure at the top, was constructed by William the Conqueror in 1068 as a statement of his power over the region. This building stood for just over a century before being burnt down in one of York’s bloodiest and tragic moments, when, in 1190, 150 Jews were massacred on the site.
Between 1190 and 1194, it was repaired at great expense, and the mound was raised to its present height. The second timber structure was destroyed (this time by a gale) in 1245. Under pressure from his wars with the Scots, Henry III ordered the tower to be rebuilt and strengthened, this time in stone. Master Simon of Northampton and Master Henry of Reynes, the senior carpenter and stonemason respectively in Windsor Castle, were sent up to York to consult on the new design of the castle.
The result was a tower some 50ft (15m) high and 200 ft (61m) in diameter. Its design is 'quatrefoil', with four overlapping circles, resembling a four leafed clover. This design pattern was unique in England and has led scholars to compare the tower with one built at about the same time, thirty miles south of Paris, the Chateau d’Etampes.
After being decimated by fire, wind, and even water (the castle sunk into the moat causing the walls to crack in the 1350s) the next challenge came from a very unlikely source - the castle’s jailer, Robert Redhead. In 1596 he began demolishing the tower and selling the stone as building material 'for his own profit'. He was only stopped after prolonged protests by the city council.
The tower's last military role began with the Civil War when, in 1642, it was again occupied by troops - first Royalists, then Parliamentarians. A garrison of soldiers stayed in the tower until it was burnt out in a fire in 1684.
It later became a garden ornament (albeit a large one) until it was incorporated into the extensions of the prison in 1825. Over the centuries the tower has regularly been threatened by demolition or neglect and yet still it stands, a proud, if somewhat decayed, monument to York’s turbulent and bloody past.

Here and there small towns and big cities make their own display or host a traveling set of crosses, in which each marker represents 100 or 1000 aborted fetuses, for example. This is a powerful and persisting visual statement. Does the opposing position have something equally visible, though: something to show how life is different for the woman thus impacted?

Mission Statement
Countless dogs are without homes and in need of assistance. These are dogs who would make wonderful and faithful companions if only they could connect with the right person or family. We have made it our mission to help them do this. At the same time we hope to enrich the lives of those who adopt them.

Artist Statement:
My work is an intersection of artistic and technological experimentation that takes form in different types of media. My formal interest in movement, materials, language and imagination is coupled with an intuitive way of inventing intricate systems that can lead to the production of drawings, animations, videos, digitally modified photographs and organic machines with traces of human/animal behavior.
My process consists of the appropriation of my everyday visual life images, such as antique teapots, clouds in the sky or anything I associate with conceivable language patterns. If the project leads to the construction of a machine, I capture images with a video camera, and create or record movements. During the editing process, I transform movements into gestures and give my voice to the objects, which in turn constructs an invented dialect.
When I first received photographs and information about the gallery space I was going to occupy, what captured my attention was the three windows in it. Therefore, I decided to work with my own studio windows, located in Rio de Janeiro. I made animated videos of them “talking,” and planned to use them in the exhibition space. But it wasn’t until my arrival at the Mattress Factory that I invented the organism for Thesethose.
The animated videos are shown on LCDs connected to devices controlled by the animation’s movements on the screen. Light sensors attached to the screens perceive the images’ stimuli and make the body of the work react to them. The whole operation is analogical, which means that every little event is subject to possible imprecision and random malfunctions, leading to unpredictable reactions. That is one of the reasons I often refer to my pieces as organic machines.
The works are not interactive in a physical sense, so the viewer is disturbed by their indiscriminate behavior and can initially feel like an intruder in a world where things happen even if the viewer is not watching. By psychologically entering the piece, the viewer tries to decipher its irregular movements, in an attempt to make sense of its complexity and precariousness.
Bio: Mariana Manhães was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1977 where she is currently pursuing a Masters in Communication and Culture at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Her work is an intersection of artistic and technological experimentation that takes form in different types of media. She invents intricate systems that can lead to the production of drawings, animations, videos, digitally modified photographs and organic machines that respond to each other, mimicking human or animal behavior. She has exhibited her work throughout South America and Europe. See her blog tracking her development and creation of her installation for the Mattress Factory:

Historic 1925 Canadian National Railway Station in Jasper, Alberta. The station was designated as a Heritage Railway Station under the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act in 1992 and a Classified Federal Heritage Building in 1994. It was listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 2005. The station now serves VIA Rail.
The Canadian Register’s statement on the site states:
“The Canadian National Railway (CNR) station at Jasper was built in 1925 by the line's Western Division crews using a design prepared by the CNR Architectural Division in Winnipeg. It was one of the largest and finest stations to be built by the new Canadian National Railways immediately after its formation. Appropriately, the site of the new Jasper station encompassed the previous Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and Canadian Northern Railway depot sites, companies which combined to form the CNR.”

A general view shows damages following a tropical storm in the Yemeni province of Hadhramout, Yemen, 26 October 2008. The number of people killed in floods in Yemen raised to 50, officials said on 25 October. Hamid al-Khanbashi security chief of the province of Hadhramout, some 900 kilometres from the capital Sana'a, said that the number of victims in the province reached 37 people in the province. 2300 families displaced and 500 homes destroyed. The Yemeni government used schools and government facilities as shelters for families, the official told dpa.
Climate change-related statement:
'The freak flooding in Yemen in 2008 is a harbinger of what is to come around the world, as it is very likely that extremes in the frequency of many extreme events, including hot extremes, heatwaves and heavy precipitation will increase in the coming decades.'
"Mission Statement for a (Photo) Project: Having a child is hard. Not only in the pure, physical responsibility, but also psychologically. Axioms and basic truths premised upon experience are upended in an instant. All of life is reopened for questioning, for re-exploration, and its suddenness is breathtaking in its brutality.
And as you are breaking down and rebuilding, so the familiar around you mutates into something new. What was large is now small, closed, constricted. And what was open and free is now daunting and threatening and filled with danger and potential menace at worst, inconvenience at best.
This is not about claustrophobia or agoraphobia per-se. This is rather concerned with the fluidity of my own interpretation of familiar spaces - of my life - when assaulted from outside by this new permanent resident within it."
I began this abandoned project following the birth of my daughter in 2011. The above was my mission statement to come to terms with what, at the time, was so overwhelming. I rediscovered it today following a visit to The Photographers' Gallery's exhibition "Home Truths" concerning women's sense of identity following birth. I was trying to do the same thing from a father's perspective...
