Terryville Volunteers responded to a report of a house fire at 13 Prospect St. They arrived to find a heavy fire condition in the attic space of a large woodframe Victorian multi-family dwelling. As crews crews established a water supply and used ground ladders to access the roof to ventilate, a request to Thomaston was made for their tower and an engine to the scene and Harwinton for station coverage. As conditions deteriorated evacuation horn sounded and an exterior attack was taken up until a tower ladder could be set up. Low utility wires, phone poles, and tree made setting up the Thomaston tower a challenging job. With tower to the roof the vent hole was opened up and interior crews able to push in and knock down the remaining fire. Crews would remain on scene for extensive overhaul and to assist the fire marshal investigating the fire.

Due to the lack of supporting partition walls, the carriage roof has sagged in the middle over the years. To remove this distortion the structure is carefully being encouraged back into position using a series of clamps and braces. These can be seen fixed horizontally and diagonally inside the carriage.

Opening reception September 13th @ 8 PM with artists’ talks that evening.
Jordan Schwab, originally from Prince George, BC, holds a BFA from Thompson Rivers University (2005), and received his MFA from the University of Saskatchewan (2009). His work has been exhibited in group and solo shows across the country, and through a previous career in commercial and industrial construction, his interests in constructed environments have invariably melded with real life experience . He currently lives and works in Saskatoon, SK as an instructor, program coordinator, gallery preparer, independent contractor and artist.
The exhibit built to spec portrays different understandings of scale. Scale is the perceived size relationship of one object to another, but it also can represent levels of accomplishment. The work questions how we relate to the greater world around us, but also attempts to represent what can be achieved when someone pushes themselves, or a group, to think big and work together.
Melanie Colosimo is an interdisciplinary artist based out of Halifax, NS. Her work employs drawings, miniatures & stop-motion video to negotiate the space around construction & creation and themes of nostalgia & dislocation. She received a BFA from Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB and an MFA from the University of Windsor, in Windsor, ON. Her work has been exhibited and screened in galleries and festivals across Canada such as the Art Gallery of Windsor, the Atlantic Film Festival, Struts Gallery and most recently Eastern Edge Gallery. Currently she is the Exhibitions Coordinator at the Anna Leonowens Gallery, NSCAD University.
Through a series of drawings and miniatures that reference scaffolding, Structure addresses the way in which we value or undervalue space, structures and processes. Colosimo will be using the concept of scaffolding to explore the intersections between construction and home.
Again, a shape that everybody has done at some time or other. Its hard to do something new and refreshing using the same old structures, but its just too much fun to create and share :)
I used this one to test out an updated export template I am working on and am really happy with how it is coming along.

I haven't been able to spend as much time with photography or on Flickr as I would have liked the past couple weeks. I'm sure everyone's been busy with the holidays. Unfortunately I got a nasty cold for Christmas and I've been spending most of my time in bed. Hopefully it won't take me too long to catch up on all your photos!
Kew Gardens is the world's largest collection of living plants. Founded in 1840 from the exotic garden at Kew Park in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, UK, its living collections include more than 30,000 different kinds of plants, while the herbarium, which is one of the largest in the world, has over seven million preserved plant specimens. The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions. In 2003, the gardens were put on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The Kew site, which has been dated as formally starting in 1759, though can be traced back to the exotic garden at Kew Park, formed by Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury, consists of 121 hectares (300 acres) of gardens and botanical glasshouses, four Grade I listed buildings and 36 Grade II listed structures, all set in an internationally significant landscape.
Kew Gardens has its own police force, Kew Constabulary, which has been in operation since 1847.

Historic South Main District, Middletown, Ohio
The Leibee family constructed this Victorian Italianate home in 1872. The tower is called a belvedere, meaning "a fine view." The arched windows on the first floor are leaded glass. The Leibee family members were merchants and also involved in the construction business. In the 1930s the house was occupied by Earl A. Emerson, President of Armco International Corporation. Until recently, this building served as a nursing home for several years, but the current owner has undertaken a major restoration to return the home to its original purpose as a single family residence.
Minarets are structures designed higher than the main building and constructed for notifying invitation for prayer and for announcements.
Fatih Sultan Mehmed had made a wooden minaret over one of the half domes right after converting Hagia Sophia into a mosque. This minaret did not manage to reach the present day. The brick minaret at the southeast can be dated to Fatih Sultan Mehmed period or Beyazıd II period in terms of its order. The minaret at the Bab-ı Humayun side is estimated to be built by Architect Sinan in Selim II period based on the similarity with the minarets of Selimiye Mosque in Edirne. As for the identical minarets at the southwest and northwest direction, they are built by Architect Sinan in Sultan Murat III period. With their 60 meters of height as well as their thick and massif patterns, they are completing main structure of Hagia Sophia. Various ornaments are added on these minarets at repairs carried out in 15th, 16th, and 19th centuries reflecting the characteristics of their periods.

About the Artist: Fred Wilson
Fred Wilson was born in 1954 in the Bronx, New York, to an African American father and, as Wilson describes her, an “Anglo-Amerindian” mother. When he was young, the family moved to Westchester, Connecticut, to live what Wilson calls “the American dream.” Racist graffiti showed up in their yard before they even moved in.
Wilson spent most of his time in Westchester alone. “I had no friends,” he says of his time in Connecticut. “I developed this whole world on my own, and I think that’s why I’m an artist.”
Wilson’s parents divorced when he was eight years old. With his mother and sister, he returned to the Bronx and took art classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, wandering after-hours into areas that the public never saw. He studied performance art and dance at the State University of New York in Purchase and worked at the campus’s Neuberger Museum of Art as a guard. After graduating in 1976, Wilson was employed by many of New York City’s major museums, where he gained a unique, insider’s perspective.
Wilson’s art reveals what might otherwise be forgotten or ignored. “Working in the Education Department at the Met and at the Museum of Natural History, I was very aware of what wasn’t being shown to the public,” he recalls. “Those were the experiences that really got me thinking.”

Interpretive Text
Venice is famous for its glass production, and chandeliers are a central part of that story. Artist Fred Wilson researched the history of Venice and uncovered a hidden history about the many contributions of Africans to the art and culture of Venice. What he learned led to a series of works in glass, all made in traditional Venetian style, but not with traditional colors. Part of that series, this chandelier visually represents the influence of Africans on the culture of Venice, with its pale glass elements gradually taking on a rich black luster.
