The 12 apostles, an unidentified female saint and a bishop are lined up in this rood screen ( c 1500) originally dedicated to John de Norton and his wife, Margaret. All the faces have been scratched out and the paintwork is in poor condition, various attempts at restoration with unsuitable materials having done some damage to add to the deliberate defacement of the iconoclasts. All Saints' church, Marsham, Norfolk.

I love the first frame.
Smoke Screen Dania can wear absolutely anything. I thought her extremely dark make up would make her very limited but she is one of the most versatile dolls I've ever had.
My absolute most favourite piece in the MET.
Choir Screen (Reja), completed in 1764
Probably by Rafael Amezúa (Spanish, recorded 1763)
Wrought- and cold-chiseled iron, partly gilt; limestone, with traces of paint; 52 x 42 ft. (15.85 x 12.7 m)
Gift of The Hearst Foundation, 1956 (56.234.1)
Spanish ironworkers were provided with numerous commissions for grille work such as window grilles and balcony grilles, but the most important were the grilles, or screens, used to divide certain parts of a church from others. Spanish chapel screens of ambitious proportions were already being made during the last years of the fifteenth century, but early in the sixteenth century the Spanish smiths began to replace the square-sectioned or twisted iron bar with the slender, baluster-shaped iron spindle. Renaissance screens, or rejas, were composed of two or three tiers of spindles hammered from solid iron in the lightest, most symmetrical of forms and cold-chiseled with decorative foliation. These rejas proved so satisfying a solution to the screening of Spanish church choirs and chapels that they long remained models for Spanish ironworkers (rejeros). The Museum's monumental reja, although closely based on Renaissance models, was commissioned by an eighteenth-century patron, Isidro Cosio y Bustamante, bishop of Valladolid, and installed in 1763 in the nave of the Cathedral of Valladolid, where it divided the choir from the high altar. The cresting and the gilding of the ironwork were completed a year later.

Mr Screen is a caricature of a uniformed cinema usher outside the storied Screen Cinema on the corner of Hawkins Street and Pearse Street, Dublin 2. He brightens up a dull part of town and give me a chuckle every time I pass. More info: goireland.about.com/od/dublinsattractions/ss/Mr-Screen-In...

Un père est sans nouvelle de son fils. Mais puisque ce dernier a quelque 543 « amis » , il y en a peut-être un dans le public qui va pouvoir l’aider ?
L’aider à le retrouver mais aussi à comprendre ce qui a pu causer son départ. Ce père, en quête de réponses et d’empathie se livre. Il évoque sa relation à un fils de plus en plus étranger, et interroge un quotidien envahi par les écrans. Il donne aussi à entendre la voix de son ado qui, entre addiction et détachement, se construit dans des relations virtuelles. Et peu à peu le père avoue…
En croisant les points de vue sur une situation de crise, le spectacle brosse un tableau à la fois pathétique et burlesque de notre rapport à l’autre tel qu’il est induit par un quotidien peuplé d’écrans.
Screens est né d’une collecte de paroles auprès de 200 collégiens et lycéens lors d’ateliers menés par l’Embellie dans le cadre de Dunkerque 2013, capitale régionale de la culture.
Il fait l’objet de séances scolaires au sein des collèges carvinois.

A testament to their commitment to refined performance, Supra’s VISION dash uses technology as it was meant to be utilized. This system actually makes high-performance water sports boating easier and more fun. Supra has improved your VISION with a new 7-inch high-contrast screen to allow boaters a better view of the boat's systems even in full sun. The increased size allows this screen to communicate a ton of information in a quick glance, but this is much more than a dash display. This graphical in-dash interface allows the driver to easily control every aspect of wake boating from the Supra SmartPlate's wake shape to the Gravity Ballast's wake size to ZeroOff's GPS-based speed. A costly upgrade in other water sports boats, ZeroOff is standard in all Supra boats.
Other surprisingly standard VISION features include GPS chart plotting, position tracking and depth. If you're boating on a big body of water or a lake where the shoreline changes with fluctuating water levels, VISION GPS always knows where you are. If you're unclear about getting back to the dock, use the built-in tracking system to return safely.
Days last longer in a Supra thanks to multimedia entertainment in addition to real-world functionality. VISION incorporates Clarion stereo control and speed-based volume into every Supra boat. The volume of this system can be set to automatically adjust noise levels based on the speed of the boat. So the tunes can be cranked when a rider is going off behind the boat and then automatically lower if the driver must slow to pick-up a fallen rider. Make your wake riding theme songs as personal as the ride itself by selecting a song or playlist from your iPod® or iPhone® through VISION.
Supra VISION also acts as a trouble-shooting console if you do encounter an issue on the water. Easily accessible engine and system diagnostics are viewable through VISION and displayed with codes.
Don't just go big, go big picture. Experience the new VISION dash in a 2012 Supra boat at a dealer near you.
Learnt how to screen print the other day and this is what i came up with.
I only did 5, they're around A2 and they'll be signed and numbered.
A couple of them will be available at the Weapon of Choice Gallery (Bristol) as of this afternoon for a bargain price that I havn't quite decided yet (probably around 22 gold nuggets)...
Give me a shout if you want one.

Update (19/11) - The print is now available in Weapon of Choice and Friend and Co galleries in Bristol.
قال تعالى في سورة الإسراء: وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرآنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا 45 وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْاْ عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُورًا 46»
Surah Al-Esraa 45,46
And when you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) recite the Qur’ân, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not).
And We have put coverings over their hearts lest they should understand it (the Qur’ân), and in their ears deafness. And when you make mention of your Lord Alone (Lâ ilâha illallâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) Islâmic Monotheism (توحيد الله)) in the Qur’ân, they turn on their backs, fleeing in extreme dislike.
The upper part of the 15th century rood screen, converted at some point after the Reformation into a most attractive west gallery at the opposite end of the nave. What we see must have formerly comprised the rood loft, a very rare survival adorned with a row of 22 saints along with a central figure of Christ. Originally this must have stood before the chancel arch with the screen proper below which was likely composed of open wooden tracery and a further row of painted saints at the base (all since lost). The supporting posts may have once framed small parclose chapels with altars on either side of a central chancel doorway. The paintings aren't of the highest quality but are well preserved and a remarkable survival nevertheless.
St John the Baptist's at Strensham is a Churches Conservation Trust gem and one of Worcestershire's most rewarding churches. The exterior is unusual in its lime-wash finish, the gleaming white tower being visible as a landmark for some distance. Dismissed by Pevsner for being of little architectural merit it nonetheless contains much of interest from ancient woodwork to the splendid Post Reformation monuments dominating the chancel.
Best of all is the unique medieval treasure at the west end, what now looks like a west gallery but was surely recycled from the 15th century rood screen with a continuous row of painted saints stretching the entire width of the church that must have come from the former rood loft. The paintings, a rare survival in the Midlands, have more in common with those found on West Country screens rather than more refined East Anglian ones, but are a wonderful reminder of how colourful our ancient churches once were.
My first attempt to see this church years ago ended in frustration: the church is kept locked but directions are given to a key hanging on a brick pillar outside a nearby house which was missing on my previous visit. This time happily the key was back where it belonged, and my lengthy visit at least saved another visitor the minor inconvenience of seeking it out.
