Within a 2 week deadline, I had a task to create 4 images which symbolize a 'heart'. I focused on the emotion of being in love. For example; sorrow, attraction, desire and caring. Once again, I have used Maurizio Anzeri as inspiration because I just love the technique and detail by stitching to create the atmosphere within the image.
As you can see in this image the strength of the lines get the audience to follow down the page, to imitate the movement of sadness with the eyes (to look down).

Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775–1851
Wreckers -- Coast of Northumberland, with a Steam-Boat Assisting a Ship off Shore - exhibited 1834
Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1834, Turner’s Wreckers foreshadowed the turbulent, daringly generalized seascapes of his late career. The restrained palette of warm ocher tones with cool blues and grays contrasts strikingly with the dramatic subject matter. A steamer is shown rushing to the aid of a ship overcome by a storm off the wild Northumberland coast. Meanwhile, people — the wreckers of the title — gather on the shore in the hope of scavenging the cargo lost by the sinking vessel. Their pursuit of gain symbolizes the interrelationship between loss and survival, an effect heightened by the gaunt ruins of Dunstanborough Castle in the far distance. Though reminiscent of the antiquarian topography that had so deeply shaped Turner’s early work, here the endurance of the fourteenth-century fortification forms a menacing contrast with the fragility of the human lives around it.
Wreckers captures J. M. W. Turner’s recurrent exploration of the conflict between human culture and the power of nature. A masted ship flounders off the wild coast of Northumberland while a steamship tries desperately to come to its aid. Meanwhile, wreckers on the beach wait with ropes and nets to plunder whatever of value washes to shore. The old castle of Dunstanburgh looms menacingly in the background, battered by the storm but unyielding. Turner exhibited Wreckers at the Royal Academy in 1834 and again at the British Institution in 1836, when it was described by one critic as “a very great picture . . . a production of true genius.” It was bought in 1844 by Turner’s friend Elhanan Bicknell.
Wreckers were gangs who, otherwise permitted by law to take possession of scavenged debris and goods from wrecked ships, often lured them ashore by setting false lights near dangerous rocks. The danger was real, and numerous wrecks were deliberately caused and innocent lives lost as a result. The theme of shipwreck was a lifelong fascination for Turner, a sign of the ultimate helplessness and ignominy of man in the face of the cold power of the elements. But this scene may relate to an incident he himself witnessed in 1831 on his way home from a tour of Scotland. The castle in the background is Dunstanborough. After it was exhibited at the R.A., the picture was praised by the critic of the Spectator as combining “the truth of nature with the splendour of Turner.”

J. M. W. Turner: Romance and Reality
The year 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), possibly the most widely admired and influential British artist of all time.
Though Turner was trained within the English topographical tradition, his practice was deeply rooted in a wider European heritage of landscape painting. Turner pushed this inheritance to its limits in pursuit of his own expressive ends, astounding contemporaries with his bold and highly original compositions. His unique approach paved the way for a new form of landscape art, one that combined virtuoso brushwork with brilliant color, dazzling light effects, and an almost abstract sensibility. As a result, Turner came to be recognized as the most radical and innovative painter of his time and has continued to be so ever since.
This exhibition, the first show focused on Turner to be held at the Yale Center for British Art in more than thirty years, will showcase the museum’s rich holdings of the artist’s work. Unequaled in North America, this collection includes some of Turner’s most acclaimed oil paintings, notably his masterpiece Dort or Dordrecht: The Dort Packet-Boat from Rotterdam Becalmed (1818) and his celebrated later painting Staffa, Fingal’s Cave (1831–32). Alongside these major works, the exhibition will also feature outstanding watercolors and prints from the YCBA’s collection, including the artist’s only complete sketchbook outside of the British Isles.
Turner’s works are akin to painted poems, filled with incident, anecdote, and symbolism. Conveying both the beauty and cruelty of nature and human life, they shed fascinating light on the artist’s world and reveal an aesthetic—and moral—complexity that is at once discomforting and strangely modern.

"In two inaugural exhibitions upstairs, large gestural paintings on the second floor focused on the female body by Emin — who established her reputation with confessional, ramshackle sculptural installations — have unexpected resonance with atmospheric landscapes on the third floor drawn from the center’s almost 3,000 works by J.M.W. Turner, who was born almost 200 years before Emin and, like her, counted the English seaside town of Margate as an important second home.
This pairing reflects the center’s new curatorial approach, Droth said, showcasing the depth and richness of its historical collections “and then taking those threads into the present moment with someone like Tracey, who absolutely sees herself in the lineage of Margate, famous for Turner and now famous for Tracey, and in those sort of painting traditions.”

Opened in 1977 through the generosity of Yale graduate and philanthropist Paul Mellon, the Yale Center for British Art holds the largest and most significant collection of British art outside the United Kingdom. The collection spans five centuries and is the foundation for a museum uniquely focused on the histories, legacies, and shifting contexts of British art. Housed in a celebrated modernist building designed by Louis I. Kahn, the museum is situated on the Yale University campus in the city of New Haven. It is free and open to all.
"On the campus of Yale University, two art museums housed in landmark modernist buildings — each designed by Louis I. Kahn — sit directly across the street from one another. One, the Yale University Art Gallery, with an encyclopedic collection of about 300,000 objects, draws close to a quarter million people annually. The other, the Yale Center for British Art, with its specialized collection of more than 100,000 works from the 15th century to the present, brings in less than half that traffic.
The British center is now aiming to even up those visitor numbers.
It reopened in March after a two-year closure for conservation of the skylights and lighting throughout the building — the acclaimed architect’s last realized project, which opened in 1977 and is widely considered an artwork in itself — and with a fresh exhibition philosophy.
A piece by Tracey Emin, who came to fame as one of the so-called Young British Artists in the 1990s alongside peers like Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas, inaugurates a new program of contemporary works in the lobby. Her glowing sculptural installation, with yellow neon lighting proclaiming in script “I loved you until the morning” on a mirrored wall in the museum’s entrance court, is visible from the street. It serves as an “invitation” at the front door, said Martina Droth, the center’s director, who was appointed in January after working with its collections for 16 years, most recently as chief curator."

The museum’s collections include more than 2,000 paintings, 250 sculptures, 20,000 drawings and watercolors, 40,000 prints, and 35,000 rare books and manuscripts dating from the fifteenth century to the present. More than 40,000 volumes supporting research in British art and related fields are available in the Reference Library. The collection is rich with historic works by John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, George Stubbs, and J. M. W. Turner, as well as works by major artists of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, including Hurvin Anderson, Francis Bacon, Vanessa Bell, Sonia Boyce, Cecily Brown, Barbara Hepworth, Anish Kapoor, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Yinka Shonibare, and Barbara Walker.

One of the museum's greatest treasures is the building itself. Opened to the public in 1977, the Yale Center for British Art is the last building designed by the internationally acclaimed American architect Louis I. Kahn. The structure integrates the dual functions of study center and gallery, while providing an environment for works of art that is appropriately elegant and dignified. The building stands across the street from Kahn’s first major commission, the Yale University Art Gallery (1953). Located in downtown New Haven, the YCBA is near many of the city’s best restaurants, theaters, and shops.
The YCBA’s exterior of matte steel and reflective glass confers a monumental presence in downtown New Haven. The geometrical four-floor interior is designed around two interior courtyards and is comprised of a restrained palette of natural materials including travertine marble, white oak, concrete, and Belgian linen. Kahn succeeded in creating intimate galleries where one can view objects in diffused natural light. He wanted to allow in as much daylight as possible, with artificial illumination used only on dark days or in the evening. The building’s design, materials, and skylit rooms combine to provide an environment for the works of art that is simple and dignified.

1958- The Pirate hailed the election of John Murray '59 as Student Council President. Foreshadowing future successes, he also won honors on the football field and basketball court, winding up his high school career as Most Representative Setonian. He followed up with degrees from Notre Dame and Georgetown Law. His 40-year legal career included a partnership in the firm of Connell Foley, and worked closely with state, county and municipal governments throughout the state. His life-long dedication to The Prep culminated in taking the post of Chairman of the Board of Trustees from 1996 to 2019, during which time he spear-headed The Prep's move to West Orange and the purchase and development of what became the Kelly Athletic Complex.

Title: [Housing Commission of Victoria sign at the South Jordanville Estate, advertising 986 houses for 4,240 people]

It was announced at a Mulgrave Shire meeting in June 1943 that the Victorian The Housing Commission had written inquiring about the location of large quantities of suitable land within the practical reach of the various utility services. The Commission had advocated for the formation of a Utility Services Advisory Sites Selection Committee to assist with the task of identifying suitable land. As if foreshadowing the Shire and the Commission's later quarrelsome relationship, the Shire Secretary is quoted as saying "Bet your life it would have to be another Committee or Board!"
The square mile that would become Jordanville had been
identified as a post-war estate by April 1944. The acquisition of all that land was confirmed in April 1947. About 95 per cent of it was reported to be vacant.
Said to provide space for 2,000 houses, the land stretched on either side of the Glen Waverley railway between Warrigal Rd and Bay View Rd (now Huntingdale Rd). Its north and south boundaries were High Street Rd and Waverley Rd. The estate north of the train line would become Jordanville North, with that south of the railway Jordanville South. Since the estate was close to the Holmesglen factory that produced prefabricated concrete houses, it was noted that a proportion of concrete homes would be built there.
It wasn't long before Housing Commission and Mulgrave municipal interests began to conflict. In May 1947 the Shire raised concerned about the provision of recreational facilities. It was noted that in the square mile of Jordanville there were only three small reserves, totalling only about three acres. “They’re too small to be of any use,” Cr. Allen declared. Cr. Cole agreed, observing that the population would be very dense and it would be all the more necessary to make provision for recreation.
The Commission responded by inviting the Shire Engineer and the Secretary to the Commission’s officers in July 1948. They reported to the Shire that 35 acres would be set aside for playing reserves. They noted that the total area of the Estate is 480 acres, out of which 35 acres is set aside for open spaces and 421/2 acres in creek reserves—a total of 77 acres. Cr. Bunny thought "That is hardly enough."
The issue of reserves was raised again in 1953, when it became apparent the Housing Commission had absorbed Shire owned park and drainage reserves into the sub division of Jordanville South without notice or compensation. The Commission wrote to the Shire that it "regretted" the use of this land "without the courtesy of first obtaining its permission" and that it was "purely an oversight, which could easily occur when dealing with such a large area comprising over 1000 lots.”
There were more pressing concerns for Jordanville residents, though. The estate's suitability for pedestrian access and safety was called into question during 1950. When complaining about his rates, Captain Cornwell of Grandview Rd, Jordanville, asked "that you advise me what service or amenity the council is providing in the Jordanville district?" He noted that "there is only one streetlight at present in this area and in view of the rapid growth of the population I consider more lights should be provided to enable our womenfolk to have some sense of security as they stumble down the unmade roads during the winter months. "
The Dandenong Journal in September 1953 graphically reported on the state of the roads and footpaths in the Jordanville South Housing Commission Estate. The newspaper quoted complainant R. Stowers, who wrote that “One or two lights between Holmes St. and Batesford Road would obviate the need for groping through darkness, picking a way through water in Warrigal Rd., and would put an end to pedestrians having to wander like cows over Warrigal Rd. facing oncoming traffic which roars down the hill and straight across the main Batesford Rd., sometimes at speeds of up to 50 and 60 m.p.h.” The writer also requested the erection of street names; drew attention to the dangerous Batesford Rd.-Warrigal Rd. intersection, "where a boy and a middle-aged man have already lost their lives" and asked if footpaths, nature strips and trees were included in plans for improvements of the Jordanville South area. The Council's Chief Engineer "agreed that Batesford Rd. is extremely dark and dangerous" and reported that an application had been made for streetlights." He deferred the other matters to the Housing Commission and explained that no provision had been made in the street construction scheme for the planting of trees, but asphalt footpaths had been provided for.
The Commission's wire and wood fences also came into criticism for their lack of privacy. But it wasn't just views that the residents were sharing.
Something else missing from Jordanville was sewerage.
In December 1954 Commissioner L Allen noted that he had been under the impression that, to quote The Dandenong Journal "a certain section of this estate was to be sewered soon." However, the sewering of the Commission's Broadmeadows and Heidelberg estates had been planned ahead of Jordanville and that it "was a matter of altering the Commission’s policy if they were to have Jordanville sewerage speeded up." Commissioner Allen is reported as suggesting the Mulgrave Shire should make a direct approach to the Commission and the "outbreak of infectious hepatitis in the estate would be a strong argument in favour of early sewerage."
In the same edition, the newspaper wrote that the Health Inspector, N Matthews, had reported "48 cases of infectious disease for the month - one of scarlet fever, five cases of whooping cough and 42 cases of infectious hepatitis" and that Mulgrave Shire Cr. Whalley said that most of the latter occurred in the Jordanville Housing Commission area.
The Argus reported in February 1955 on an "epidemic of infective hepatitis - yellow jaundice" that had been "raging in Victoria for several months." The article quoted an unnamed "official" as saying that Mulgrave Shire had suffered the "highest number of cases."
As late as May 1956 the Parson Pepper Reviews The News column in The Argus observed that "The Housing Commission's delay in initiating the Jordanville sewerage scheme is an affront to the Christian social conscience."

Faulty Hearts Are Lovely #8: Foreshadowing.
I guess it was obvious. I am very uncomfortable without a book in my hand.
But before long I always had a book on hand. These days I read 7-10 novels a week.
A wee bit of foreshadowing? Maybe. And maybe not.
Pan's backstory is something I'd really like to get out and in the open over the next few months...its somewhat dependent on one or two things first though.
