Statement by the Artists
Screwarch,
In 1976, when we began working together and traveling in the landscape of the Netherlands, we began to identify an arched version of a screw with the many bridges in the surroundings, motivated also by the coincidence that Coosje’s last name means "of bridges" in Dutch. The letter "B" laid on its side, we also noticed, resembles a bridge. In search of a possible site, Coosje suggested that we focus on a project by the city of Rotterdam to build a new bridge in its center across the wide Maas river. Of course we realized how unlikely it was that a large bridge of our design might be chosen by the city, but we proceeded as if it could happen. Drawings and plans culminated in very large etchings, in color and black and white, of a bridge made of double arched screws, their points meeting in the center of the river, in a style influenced by Coosje’s admiration for the emotive landscapes of the seventeenth century Dutch printmaker Hercules Seghers.
In 1978, we were among the artists selected by the director of the Boymans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, W.A.L. Beeren, for the acquisition of a group of related works to show the full range of their activities. The works on the theme of the Screwarch in the context of the Netherlands seemed perfectly suited to the program. We accepted and set about making a collection that, besides drawings and etchings, included a table model of the Rotterdam bridge project using bronze castings of the two Screwarches in a model of the actual site based on plans and elevations obtained from the city, and a large-scale version of the Screwarch in aluminum, 3.86 meters high, its scale derived from the height of the room in the Museum where it would be shown.
The large Screwarch was fabricated in North Haven, Connecticut and transported in three sections to Rotterdam. Following the exhibition in June 1983, the large Screwarch was disassembled and reconstructed as a permanent outdoor work on a site between reflecting pools in the garden behind the Museum.

Ray Schamp’s unique style of origami was influenced by his long-time interests in visual art and the sciences. Raised in Baltimore by working artists and science professionals, he emerged from his childhood with an appreciation for order, the natural world, and design. His art reflects his experiences growing up, his studies of biology at Oberlin College, and his current work as a web developer.
Schamp characterizes his style of origami as ‘corrugation’, in reference to the pleated surfaces that comprise the work. Through the development of this genre, Schamp has become involved in the greater community of origami artists, especially those who focus on the creation of repeated patterns in paper. His participation in this community has refined Schamp's understanding of his own work by challenging him to deeply explore the nuances of his technique and theory.
For Schamp, the experience of making each piece is as important as the piece itself – the art of origami lies in the evolution of the flat piece of paper into its final form. He understands his work as a form of emergence, where the end result is not pre-meditated, but is a function of the process by which it was created.
Corrugations differ from traditional origami not only because they are non-representational, but also because the role of each crease is apparent in the final piece. As described by a colleague in the origami community, “The bare bones of the fold displayed are stripped to their essentials. Here is folding from first principles…” Schamp’s work demonstrates the basic mechanics of paper, because each crease visibly contributes to the larger structure.
Teaching is a vital part of Schamp’s artistic practice. He understands origami corrugations as a medium for expressing mathematical and scientific ideas, and encourages others to do so as well. By sharing his method and philosophy of folding, he hopes to inspire artists, both within and outside of the origami community, to further explore his ideas.

Today my assistant made a statement, waving with the white pen! He thinks that freedom of speech is one of the most important things that exist today but he also thinks that the religious freedom is equally important like the free choice of political values, therefore the white pen, seeking peace and respect, without jeopardizing democracy!

Nowhere is there such an intersection of cultures as in New York City. As an immigrant who has lived in New York for 10 years, traveling among the five boroughs using public transportation is still fascinating and exciting; being in this city can feel like visiting another country. People celebrate the customs and holidays of their country by wearing folk costumes on the street. Awnings with messages in entirely unfamiliar alphabets are completely common. Many of them advertise goods catering to specific nationalities and cultures, especially foods that were brought here or requested by immigrants living in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Jackson Heights, or Flushing. The packaging of these products is a form of art that tells stories and helps remind people that their culture is alive. In this way, immigrants in New York City can prevent the fading of identification with their native culture.
Blender is my ongoing project in which I investigate the diverse immigrant cultures in New York City. The project includes photos of the packaging of food products from various neighborhoods with a large immigrant influence accompanied by texts (short stories as well as notes on the history, culture, and trivia relating to immigrant-heavy areas), maps, and a website. I’m showing photos and presenting short texts on the New York City neighborhoods where the photographed food products can be found. The look of these food packages often has an old-fashioned feel: bright, saturated colors and outmoded designs that are rare in both Japan, where I’m from, and America, where I now live. Through this project I hope to show that art can transcend time and language even through the simplest imagery found on a candy wrapper. Blender is a lens into New York's immigrant communities and cultures.

The recent attack on Jussie Smollet from the TV Show Empire has brought this conversation to the attention of national and international audiences. There is no reason for such attacks, on anyone, ever. We must speak out and join together, work to end hate and advance human dignity, equal rights, and a world free from discrimination and prejudice. The Capital Pride Alliance is committed to working diligently with our partners and the community to create safe spaces for all.

What better time to raise the issue of the imminent threat facing Polar Bears (and the other environmental and societal impacts of climate change) than at the Polar Bear Swim?

Statement in Opposition to the Immigrant Protection Act
Despite its name, the Immigrant Protection Act does not provide new protections for our immigrant community. In fact, the IPA, as it is written, protects criminals while putting innocent people in greater danger.
The Act will make it more difficult to make transfers of prisoners at the county jail who are wanted on federal charges by Homeland Security. The jail provides a safe and neutral place to make such transfers. Under this act, transfers would be moved into the community which poses greater risks for innocent members of the community and Law Enforcement.
We want our immigrant community to feel safe and welcome in Westchester County. We applaud District Attorney Scarpino for establishing a task force within his office to ensure that those immigrants coming forward to report crimes will not face repercussions related to their immigration status. Nurturing trust between Law Enforcement and the immigrant community is an essential component to that objective. No one wants to prevent victims of crimes, especially domestic violence, from being reported out of fear of immigration issues. Shielding people who are accused of committing crimes from federal authorities is dangerous and irresponsible. When someone who is in this country illegally commits a crime, their victims are usually fellow immigrants. Why would we want to protect these predators?
Local law enforcement, including county police, do not enforce or address immigration issues. They do not seek to determine immigration status or use it in any way to perform their duties. Just to make that point clear two county executives have issued executive orders to specifically direct county police to not engage in immigration enforcement or inquire about immigration status. County Executive Spano issued his Executive Order No. 4 in 2006, and County Executive Astorino updated the directive further in September of 2017. The subject of these executive orders is exactly what the IPA is purported to address, but does not.
The IPA states that “County Law Enforcement Agencies (CLEA) shall not communicate with Federal Immigration Authorities.” One exception to this directive contained in an earlier version of the IPA was if the individual was a known gang member. This is a reasonable exception since we know of MS-13’s growing presence on Long Island which is close proximity to Westchester. Why not include this provision since there are national databases that could be used to identify such individuals? However, it was removed and when we asked for it to remain in the law, it was denied.
According to federal guidelines, the IPA will clearly cause Westchester County to be classified as a “Sanctuary County”. Another request that was denied was to include representatives of Homeland Security in the committee discussion and deliberation. We requested that federal immigration representatives be present to answer questions and give their assessment of the IPA. Shouldn’t we hear from them to determine how the IPA could affect them in the carrying out of their duties? Perhaps their input could have made a more effective law and one that everyone could support. It was another opportunity lost that could have garnered unanimous support by the BOL.
The IPA is designed specifically to do only two things; protect undocumented criminals sitting in the county jail, and eliminate the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Anything that inhibits law local enforcement from working closely with their federal law enforcement partners like the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies— is a bad and reckless idea.

This crystal statement necklace features two layers of draped clear vintage chandelier crystals. Neo Victorian elegance is created as thirteen crystals glisten in the light. The back of the necklace ties with a black silky ribbon. I have treated the ends so the ribbon won't fray. The ribbon makes the necklace incredibly versatile, as you can tie it to whatever length you like.
I created this necklace for I Feel Love, a fashion show in Minneapolis Minnesota. This necklace is designed to be romantic, modern, and elegant at the same time, like something an edgy rock star would wear. You can relive the magic of I Feel Love by watching this video of the fashion show:
