*Working Towards a Better World & HFF
I believe that art helps change attitudes, speak the truth, heal, create beauty, give us food for thought keep our history going,
that is why I have chosen to put this into WTBW.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. - Aristotle
What is art but a way of seeing?
Thomas Berger
Art remains the one way possible of speaking truth. -
Robert Browning
Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world. -
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is Power. -
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Art is not a thing; it is a way. -
Elbert Hubbard
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. - Georgia O'Keeffe
We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth. - Pablo Picasso

WONDER & WANDER
Located at the Ignite Youth Centre, this mural is meant to inspire students of Elgin County and St Thomas. A little bit of nature and magic for the youth centre tying into the neighbouring Horton Farmers Market.
The piece brings a beautiful burst of light to the alleyway, conjuring up themes of movement, freedom & the pursuit of knowledge ... what is the woman in the mural reading? where is she going? how did she arrive in this place?
This brilliant work of street art helped to kick off the ‘Students Build Cities’ program, a collaboration between the team at ‘young & free press’ and the Thames Valley District School Board.
Excerpt from stepspublicart.org/project/brampton-traffic-box-art-pilot...:
“Arrive” by Malachi Watson-Narcisse
This piece features a young man with a single piece of luggage. He finds himself in a new land, hopeful of a better life and a bright future.
“This piece was inspired by the large population of immigrants found in Brampton. It reflects the humble beginnings as well as the hopes and dreams of those who come to the city to start a new life… I hope my art makes our community more pleasant to be in. I hope my art helps the city of Brampton eventually create a new aesthetic identity. I hope my art being displayed inspires others artistically.”
About Malachi Watson-Narcisse

Traffic Box Art Pilot Project
Artist: Aditi Kashyap, Amye St John, Annmarie Claudette, Malachi Watson-Narcisse, Michel Nwoye-Vincent.
Category: Temporary Public Art Projects
Address: Downtown Queen Street, Brampton
The City of Brampton has transformed five traffic control boxes to feature artwork from the Arts, Culture & Creative Industry Development Agency’s (ACCIDA) “Postcard Project – Your Artist Story”. This project asks artists to submit work which explores their connection to the City and reflects on how their artistic practice captures the spirit and stories of Brampton.
The featured artwork is by local artists Aditi Kashyap (Queen Street East & Chapel Street), Amye St John (Centre Street & Queen Street East), Annmarie Claudette (Queen Street East & Lynch Street), Malachi Watson-Narcisse (Queen Street East & Hansen Road), Michel Nwoye-Vincent (Queen Street East & Rutherford Road).
This project is also supported by My Main Street funded by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
As this is a City of Brampton Pilot Project, we want your feedback on how this pilot project impacts the downtown.
Spring is not just one of the seasons, it is a new life. A magical time when nature comes to life, the gentle sun warms, the birds sing joyfully on the branches, everything around turns green, blooms, and smells sweet. Time of fine mood, smiles, happiness, love. Everyone wants to share their positive emotions with loved ones. A person is in a hurry to tell the whole world about the feelings that overwhelm the heart. After all, it is simply impossible to remain silent about a miracle. My photo art helps to accurately and interestingly convey what is happening in our souls this season.

Art helps us see with new eyes what we knew was there but never really recognized. I photograph not to record or document—but rather, to capture and hold, just for a moment, the essence of what exists beyond the scene. - Robert Hall

Ma grand-mère est morte ce matin. Cette photo est pour elle, la femme la plus forte que j'ai jamais eu l'occasion de rencontrer. Elle avait une intelligence pointue, une memoire puissante, et quand elle était jeune, elle ressemblait à l'actrice américaine, Katherine Hepburn. Elle m'a appris à aimer les jardins, comment jouer aux cartes et comment jouer du Scrabble. Elle va me manquer.

My grandmother died this morning. This photo is for her, the strongest, fiercest woman I ever knew. She had a razor-sharp intelligence, a powerful memory, and when she was young she resembled Katherine Hepburn. Beauty and strength, that was her. She taught me to love gardening, to play gin rummy, and to play scrabble. She will be missed.

don't know what this book is like inside the cover (shot the snap in a garden accessory shop) but the spaces we live in and the ways in which we fill them with stuff certainly do affect 'how we live our lives'... it's kind of obvious I suppose - we've been redecorating a bedroom and are now at stage of deciding artwork for the wall...
can art help us to live better?
for me that's a rhetorical question
flickr helps me live better
Sometimes when I'm battling with a lot of self-doubt, I try to imagine myself rising above all my fears and insecurities. I hope my art helps you fly too.

Excerpt from brainproject.ca:
Graphic contemporary artist Kestin Cornwall believes sports and art help to create a community, bringing people together as fans, on teams, in running groups and as workout partners. He is also interested in the theory of epigenetic inheritance: the idea that environmental factors can affect the genes of children. Cornwall realizes there are positive and negative implications, and points out we must be sure we use them to bridge gaps and start conversations. Cornwall feels we need to push our collective consciousness toward a more positive, bright and inclusive future.
The Yogen Früz Pinkberry Brain Project brings attention to the importance of physical and mental health. Cornwall believes it is the duty of an artist to add beauty to the world while invoking the unending social responsibility of capturing thought. His work looks to a vibrant, diverse, loving and healthier future for this generation and those to come.

I got in pretty late that night... It was bitter cold outside, but I decided to head out for a few. I haven't yet found a good hand-in-glove solution that both keeps them warm and allows me to meddle with all the little dials on my beauty; if she only had a warm hand I could hold between takes, now that would be sweet.
In other news, one week from now, I am going to be on a radio show that you all can listen in to, should you be bored. It will also be recorded, so you can really listen to it any time. I'll put a little listen-here-widget on my blog next Sunday morning, but here is a link beforehand if you get the jitters. Here is the little description Elizabeth (the host) has up on her website:
"The world is awash in electromagnetic, sound, and vibrational waves. We swim through them all fairly effortlessly, experiencing life and creating memories. If life is nothing but an adventure to collect interesting memories, how do we come to best understand the way in which humans experience the world at large? How can thinking about memory, science, and art help enhance our experience with all the little things we take for granted?"
And in other unrelated news, there is a new thing called Flickr Hive Mind... it is a slightly different way to view Flickr photos. Here it is, displaying a selection of my top 100 (or so, I guess!) photos.
from the blog at www.stuckincustoms.com
The best to all my friends and contacts here. You and your art help make my world a better place in harsh times.

Our family snow-holiday puzzle.
This puzzle is from Ravensburger's Canadian Collection.
"Bill Brownridge is one of Canada's most popular hockey artists. The game of hockey, with emphasis on children's enjoyment of playing, has been his life long inspiration. Bill hopes his art helps you rekindle many wonderful memories and invites you to bring the spirit of colour and movement into your own home"
"Durkheim argues there are four kinds of suicide, egoistic, altruistic, anomic and fatalistic, each conditioned by too strong or weak social regulation (rules and their imposition upon the individual by others) or social integration (positive identification and interaction with others by the individual).
Durkheim’s interest is ‘social solidarity’ under modernity. This is achieved by a balanced combination of integrative and regulative forces which inhibits the creation of suicide-inducing extremes. Modernity’s ‘centrifugal’ forces make it difficult to achieve the balance (‘measure’) of an appropriately socialised life - one which protects individuals from killing themselves.
Using elements from Duccio and Turner (glittering gold, the golden ratio, colour primaries, vortices) this picture (105cm/ 90.5cm, acrylic on board) attempts to express the ambitiousness, multiplicity, ambiguity and urgency of Durkheim’s social theory. Inspired by Durkheim and painted to help me understand his ideas, the question is ‘Does looking at it help progress understanding these ideas?
_______________
"Mae Durkheim yn dadlau bod pedwar math o hunanladdiad: egöistig, allgarol, anomig a thyngedfenyddol, ac effeithir ar bob un gan reoliadau cymdeithasol (rheolau a sut maent yn cael eu gorfodi ar unigolyn gan eraill) rhy gryf neu rhy wan neu integreiddio cymdeithasol (yr unigolyn yn uniaethu ac yn rhyngweithio ag eraill mewn modd cadarnhaol).
Maes diddordeb Durkheim yw ‘undod cymdeithasol’ yn yr oes fodern. Cyflawnir hyn drwy gyfuniad cytbwys o rymoedd cyfunol a rheoleiddiol sy’n atal eithafion a bery hunanladdiad rhag cael eu creu. Mae grymoedd allgyrchol modernedd yn ei gwneud yn anodd cyflawni cydbwysedd (‘mesur’) bywyd sydd wedi’i gymdeithasoli’n briodol - un sy’n diogelu unigolion rhag lladd eu hunain.
Gan ddefnyddio elfennau o Duccio a Turner (aur gloyw, y gymhareb euraidd, prif liwiau, fortecsau) mae’r llun hwn (105cm/ 90.5cm, acrylig ar fwrdd) yn ceisio cyfleu natur uchelgeisiol, lluosedd, amwysedd a brys damcaniaeth gymdeithasol Durkheim. Cafodd ei ysbrydoli gan Durkheim a’i baentio er mwyn fy helpu i ddeall ei syniadau a’r cwestiwn yw ‘A yw edrych arno yn helpu i gynyddu dealltwriaeth o’r syniadau hyn?"

...i know this is very dark. i got some bad news about a dear old friend tonight and i'm not feeling too cheerful. making art helps, though.
I seek the light, because the dark is often lurking too close for comfort.
I'm starting a new set, confessions of a light junkie, to help me remember to use my camera and written words as lifelines even when I'm feeling blue.
because life is not always easy. because art helps me to find my way. because sometimes, being able to laugh at the absurdity of it all really can make all the difference in the world...
so here goes.
I haven't shaved my legs in weeks, I can not wait till I can go into the grocery store without having to suffer another round of jolly christmas music, and eating pepper mint bark to try and numb the feelings I've no time to process was a really, really bad idea. xox
There is something about films. They can be entertaining, or boring. They can be mainstream, or totally unknown. They can be rewarded with golden statues, or rotten tomatoes. They can be remembered through years, or undeservedly forgotten.
In the endless sea of various moving pictures, everyone can find a story, which is more than just a film. A story, which for a some reason feels more important than other films, even those which you anticipated more. Maybe that story can say something you really needed to hear. Maybe that story can answer the questions, which remained unanswered for years. Maybe that story can show you a new perspective. Maybe that story can help you to deal with something. Maybe that story can make you emotional (Pixar used to do this a lot, but not recently). Maybe that story can let you live a different life until the credits roll. Maybe it some other reason, any reason, this is just a bunch of most common.
But as soon as the credits roll, you are forced to go back to reality. And reality can be really different. A second ago you were free to go on any adventures the story has, you were powerful to face any enemies like a superhero, and now you're running from shadows and can't do anything. It's even worse, if the world on the screen was a better place. You don't want to go, but you have to go back to your boring staff, instead of living your best life, because it's just impossible. You can do it only in your head, when you're watching films, or when you're already awake, but don't want to get up because you can just think. Some people are lucky enough to also live their best life in dreams, but it's not something that can be done on purpose for most people.
The darker the times, the more people need films and other forms of stories... This is no more a luxury of escaping the reality, but rather a necessity of surviving IN reality. Of course, you shouldn't get too carried away with this, there should be a balance, or you can't survive either, but films really help.
Okay, that's my philosophy for today. :) So, I decided to build the cinema, though it doesn't have to be a cinema, you can watch films online on streams (like I did), but it's harder to portray, you know, so I thought a cinema would be a better metaphor, as well as the chains of the limitations of reality. This is also the real cinema in my city, I tried really hard to replicate those particular wall panels, which had steps just like the steps on the staircase below the panels, though it had less steps than the staircase, and also I build the more comfy seats on the front row, you can see now, why they look different. Actually, I haven't been to cinema since the pandemic started, not a single time, and even few years before that I haven't watched this film when it was out (and it's great that I didn't - I wouldn't like it back then). Which film? You can think about any film which fits the description above for YOU. :) That's what the art is about, isn't it?

This title page is rather fine, both in terms of design and production - sadly no specific artist is given.
