Project Statement
Name of Piece: Sheltered Forever

When using the freewrite to help think of new ideas for my project (and to find meaning
behind my objects that I had chosen) a lot of things that I kept writing down were about kids
being overly protected for too long in their life.To demonstrate this thought in my sculpture, I
looked at the 6 objects I choose and decided to show it by using the shoes, decorative umbrella,
and stacks of money. When researching them for our Planar Objects worksheets, a new
meaning that came up for me behind an umbrella besides protection from the sun or rain was
the status of wealth. The first uses for the umbrella were to protect the white rich people from
getting burnt ,and only those with lots of money would use umbrellas. I chose this object to
represent most children growing up in nice areas being sheltered from the reality of life and
diversity and how money is seen as being able to be wasted on unnecessary, extravagant
things;therefore, leaving them as young adults unable to understand how to deal with money
and the real world. I made the money stacks in my sculpture look cheap and fake on purpose to
demonstrate another common motto that “Money isn’t everything”. When choosing what kind of
umbrella to use I wanted to chose a decorative umbrella because unlike “normal” types of
umbrellas it is seen as frivolous and because it usually is made of lace or thin fabric it basically
has no function except for looks/status symbol. By holding up the decorative umbrella with the
shoe strings I wanted the umbrella to look unstable. I did this to convey that parent’s think they
are helping their kids become stable and independent by sheltering them when in reality they
are doing the opposite. When making the shoe I decided to shrink it in size to have it resemble a
kid’s shoe ,and then made the shoelaces hold up the decorative umbrella.
When making the foam board sculpture, it was difficult to use foam board to create
round designs. I struggled greatly making small detail cut-outs from the foam board to make the
umbrella look “lacy” ,and to keep them clean and crisp looking, but after redoing the umbrella I
bought an exacto knife ,and it seemed to make it a little easier. When making the umbrella
panels I cut a design all the way through the top to have it hover over the top of the larger,lower
section of the umbrella (to convey the see through “lace” part of the design) I had a hard time
making it perfectly center over the bottom part and keeping it “afloat” without having the part
holding it up be emphasized. Overall I thought my idea was conveyed through the objects ,and I
think my thought process/ research process was strong, and my second take on the sculpture
seems to be much more successful than the first.
Greenpeace activist Jessica Miller reads a statement in front of the U.S. District Court in Rapid City, South Dakota, January 4, 2010, following a sentencing hearing for Miller and 10 other Greenpeace activists. Defense Attorney Timothy Rensch represented the activists charged with climbing Mount Rushmore. The group was sentenced to serve community service except for Matt Leonard who was sentenced to two days in jail. Shown are from left, Cy Wagoner, Noah Mace, Mary Sweeters, Joe Smyth, Matt Leonard, Jessica Miller, Simran McKenna, Basil Tsimoyianis, Madeline Gardner, and Brian Jenkins.
On 9 July 1946 the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, John Hynd MP, informed the House of Commons that a total of 222 speakers had given lectures at POW camps during the preceding three months. Of these “about 100 were British and about 88 were émigré Germans: I regret that figures are not available for the numbers of lectures they respectively gave”. Responding to an assertion by the Westmorland MP William Fletcher-Vane that “lectures by British lecturers are much more appreciated by prisoners of war than those given by émigré Germans, and …. the educational value of lectures by Englishmen is very much greater”, the minister contended that “lectures by any competent lecturers on any subject which these people are discussing are appreciated, whether the lecturers are German or British, and in many cases the German émigré has something to offer...”.*
One of the “German émigré” lecturers was Dr H L Gottschalk, born Hans Ludwig Cohn in Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, in 1904. Notwithstanding his baptism and formal adoption of his paternal-grandmother's maiden name more than a decade earlier, Dr Gottschalk was dismissed from his position at Hamburg University in 1933 on account of his Jewish heritage. In 1938 he secured the post of curator of the Mingana Oriental Manuscripts Collection at Selly Oak, Birmingham, and was accordingly able to bring his family to the UK.**
Over the course of a visit to Camp 50 and its hostels on 27-28 April 1946, Dr Gottschalk addressed the POWs on the theme “Switzerland as a Model for the Reconstruction of Germany”. As Lt. Col. Ireland's second-in-command, Major Bennett-Dampier, observed at the time, “The lecturer appeared to be a strong Nationalist... This rather upset the Anti Nazis in the Camp. However a definite impression was left that England must be a free country, & the lecturers genuine, to allow these things to [be] said”. It was later alleged by some of the POWs and by the British Army staff-sergeant that Dr Gottschalk had spoken strongly in favour of the first German chancellor, Otto von Birmarck, and that he had concluded at least two of his lectures with the words “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles”.*** By request of Major Robert Seeds, who had declared his intention to “go into the matter in detail with Dr Gottschalk”, signed statements to this effect were forwarded to the FO. I can find no record of any follow-up. In November 1947 Dr Gottschalk did in fact return to Camp 50 to lecture on “The Future of Europe, The Near and Middle East”, apparently without incident. A year later he accepted a position at the University of Vienna, and continued teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies there until his retirement in 1974. He died in Salzburg, Austria, in 1981.

**A letter written by his father on 29.4.1946, transcribed in Werner Zager's “Albert Schweitzer als liberaler Theologie” (LIT Verlag, Münster 2009) explains the circumstances of their arrival in England. Dr Gottschalk's release from internment on 9.10.1940 was authorised on the ground of his being a person of academic distinction for whom work of national importance in his field was available (National Archives ref. HO 396/255; “German and Austrian Civilian Internees: Categories of Persons Eligible for Release...”, Cmd. 6217/July 1940 as amended).
*** “Dr Gottschalk, who was in this camp about 4 weeks ago, said that Bismark was an outstanding statesman and ended his Lecture with the words “DEUTSCHLAND, DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES” in one of the hostels. Now, Bismark is one of the most hated men to German Democrats and the song symbolises to a German Anti-Nazi all what was wrong in Germany from 1871 to 1945. Some Anti-Nazis even went so far as to ask S/Sgt Bloch ... whether the [next scheduled] lecturer was a German of the Gottschalk type as they did not want to hear a lecture like his again.” “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” is the opening line of the now rarely-sung first and fourth verses of the German anthem.

This was given to me by the Driver of a soon to be Stagecoach First bus 2 days before the official Wigan depot transfer. He said they had only just gone out on the buses so I doubt many have survived and 2 days hardly gives much notice.

Was he making a post modern fashion statement? No actually this is a dad looking after his daughter's new teddy which she had won 15 minutes earlier on Scarborough Fair.
By the way he drives 70 ton trucks for a living.

Artist Statement:
In my youth, I was considered a wild child. I was in and out of trouble, vandalizing and leaving my mark all over my neighborhood. I chose curls for my tag because I have curly hair and curls are seen as wild or messy- Which described me to a 'T'
Ill always have curly hair, but I like to consider myself more refined these days- but ill always be that wild child :)
