"The speed of communication is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue."

Prospero and Ariel by Eric Gill, 1933.
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
Ariel from The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Arthur Eric Rowton Gill, 1882-1940, was an English sculptor, typeface designer, stonecutter and printmaker, who was associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. A maverick socialist and radical Catholic, he is a controversial figure, with his well-known religious views and subject matter generally viewed as being at odds with his sexual behavior, including his erotic art. Gill was adamantly opposed to fascism, and was one of the few prominent Catholics in Britain to openly speak up for the cause of the Spanish Republicans. Gill became a pacifist, and helped set up the Catholic peace organisation Pax. Later Gill joined the Peace Pledge Union, as well as supporting the British branch of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Gill died of lung cancer in Harefield Hospital in Middlesex in 1940. He was buried in Speen churchyard in the Chilterns, near Princes Risborough, the village where his last artistic community had practised.

'Over the front entrance of Broadcasting House stand the statues of Prospero and Ariel (from Shakespeare's last play The Tempest), by Eric Gill. Prospero, Ariel's master, stands 10ft tall and is depicted sending Ariel out into the world. Ariel, as the spirit of the air, was felt to be an appropriate symbol for the new mystery of broadcasting.
After Broadcasting House was opened and the statues were installed (1933), concern was voiced about the size of the sprite's genitalia. A question was tabled in the House of Commons, but the popular story, that Gill was ordered to modify the statue, is not substantiated.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Herbert Read first approached Gill about this commission in October 1929. In a letter of 15 February 1931 Gill referred to being in the thick of making designs for the BBC; he exhibited drawings for four different designs for this group at the French Gallery, November 1933. The drawing on stone of the approved design was done in March–April and the carving was begun in May and finished in August 1931, according to extracts from his diary supplied by his brother Evan Gill.
The theme of Prospero and Ariel set by the BBC did not appeal to Gill, and he wrote in his Autobiography: ‘I took it upon me to portray God the Father and God the Son. For even if that were not Shakespeare's meaning it ought to be the BBC's.’

2013: Sexual abuse charities are urging the BBC to remove the statute in front of Broadcasting House made by artist Eric Gill, after it was revealed that he sexually abused his two eldest daughters.
His 1932 statue Prospero And Ariel, inspired by Shakespeare's play The Tempest, occupies a prominent position at the entrance to the BBC's Broadcasting House in Portland Place, London.
Fay Maxted, chief executive of The Survivors' Trust, which supports survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse, told the London Journalism Centre: 'It's an insult to allow a work like this to remain in such a public place. It is almost mocking survivors, it is intolerable.'
Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association For People Abused In Childhood, added: 'There's a strong argument that this should be removed. These symbols are in people's faces.' The statue was especially inappropriate in light of the recent Jimmy Savile scandal, he added.

Tokyo Skytree, Somaida, Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo’s Sky Tree is the tallest standing tower in the world and it is the second tallest (manmade) free standing structure in the world. Its main purpose is for terrestrial digital broadcasting, but it also has a few restaurants, observation towers and of course plenty of gift shops. It gets fairly crowded, and the observation deck is of course glass walled and sealed. Though the inside and outside glass walls are in general clean enough, it’s not really a great spot to take aerial photographs.

This week saw the release of PSBs so-called sophomore release, The Race for Space.
An ambitious record, which comes in a gatefold sleeve, featuring alternative front covers, one for the USA and the other for CCCP space programs.
I might suggest, the perfect alternative soundtrack if you watch BBC4's Cosmonauts on the i player.

Student Patrick continues work planking one of the two 21-foot Whitehalls being built for the BBC.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
Students at the School are building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the EMMA DEAN, or the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the other boats (MAID OF THE CANON, KITTY CLYDE's SISTER and NO NAME) were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts. (NO NAME was lost to the river shortly after Powell began the descent, though her crew survived).
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is an accredited, non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades. If you're interested in our building a boat for you, please feel free to give us a call.

The BBC is a national institution and provides probably the worlds best public television and radio service. The online services is excellent also. That said, the BBC has come under a lot of criticism lately over variety of issues. The balance between being independent from government whilst providing an appropriate service to the license fee payer has always been difficult and is under even greater scrutiny today.
Broadcasting House is one of the original buildings, but has recently been sold.
1. I am thankful for getting better at respecting my own time. I had a cancelled appointment this morning but already had stuff in my queue with which to do! :) It also makes me limit time I spend on tasks which significantly increases my ability to focus. What tactics do you use to respect your own time? Enquiring minds want to know!! ;)
2. I am thankful for the time I spend by myself. Spending time by myself means not having to explain myself when I blurt out, “It’s a BOOLEAN!” while doing the supper dishes! :) What idiosyncrasies do you have when you are alone? :)
3. I am thankful for finishing, framing, photographing and wrapping a piece on Tuesday.
4. I am thankful for identifying that one thing that holds me back from Biggification and allowing people any opportunity to enjoy my art is that I feel anxious about getting too wrapped up in Biggification that I could/would get sick .. and umm I can’t even say it .. about my transplant. This allowed me to put health in the forefront of my personal manifesto which currently consists of three words ( / Gratitude / make art / health / ) in a circle with two-way arrows. Identifying the elephant in the room has been refreshing. :)
5. I am thankful for reminding myself why I write the thankful lists! To remind myself that I do have (and maybe am much) to be thankful for. Gratitude lists also distract me when I become too enthralled with my own belly button lint.
6. I am thankful that you can never step into the same river twice.
7. I am thankful for finding more excuses to walk and smile - often at the same time! ;)
8. I am really thankful for beautiful writing books with unassuming black covers and smooth unlined paper that I can write and draw on with lovely felt pens that are able to last much longer. Do you have a favourite place and/or way to write? :)
9. I am thankful for Lindsay recommending Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. It has some lovely kernels of wisdom that I identify with AND, like every really good book, it made me laugh, cry and think! :) What really great books have you read? What drew you to the book?
10. I am seriously thankful for the people that blog what they need to communicate (their art) accessibly and are finding sustainable ways to help other people make their own art. Without their help I don’t know that I would have re-started making my own art, continued practising making photos or written anything publicly. They demonstrate that you can make your art, whatever that is, you can find a way. It can take LOT of work but it can be done!! :)
11. I am thankful for people (OK! it was one person!) that sent me stuff like this art making video and this letter to The Kidbecause it made me feel better and inspired me. (They also made me cry dang it.) I am thankful for posting a link to an audio file that helped some people feel better. :) What were you able to do to help someone feel (even) better? Did someone do something that made you feel better (even) better? What was it, did you let the person(s) know?
Thank you for reading. If you don’t feel like leaving a comment to answer any or all of the questions feel free to send a telepathic message, I believe my receptor should be up and running again! ;)
