Paula Chandon è tra gli artisti contemporanei che hanno aderito alle tematiche di Ethos, osservatorio di etica pubblica diretto dal prof. Sebastiano Maffettone.
Gli Studi d'Artista rappresentano un tassello importante nella ricerca di Paula Chandon. Dopo aver viaggiato e ritratto la "common people", sceglie come punto di osservazione privilegiato tre artisti nei propri atelier raccontando attraverso gli spazi e gli oggetti fotografati, umori dei luoghi e di chi li popola. L' ambiente in questo modo diventa significato e significante; un grembo ideale che risuona, rimanda e amplifica le energie come la cassa armonica di uno strumento; quasi a divenire Dramatis persona che incarna l'Etica nell'Estetica dell'artista. Della serie fanno parte gli Atelier di Matthew Carr artista figurativo britannico ammirato da Andy Warhol. Famoso per i suoi disegni monocromatici e per l'introspezione dei soggetti che traspare dal suo tratto. Paolo Buggiani considerato il padre italiano della Street Art ha fatto de La scuola della Disobbedienza (applicata anche al digitale) l'emblema identitario del suo lavoro. Sandro Chia è stato uno dei membri più importanti del movimento della Transavanguardia italiana. Le sue sono generalmente opere di grande formato dai forti impasti cromatici.
St John's Hospital - Bakewell Almshouses
The word “hospital” used to mean lodging house, a place where “hospitality” was provided. The original 1602 building was provided by John Manners, after an initiative by Bess of Hardwick with the 1597 approval of Queen Elizabeth I.
The current building dates from 1709 and housed six separate homes, hence the six fron doors you see today. The homes had one tiny room downstairs and one upstairs - no bathroom, toilet or kitchen.
The Manners family, Dukes of Rutland from 1703, maintained the building until 1920. They gave it and the adjacent former town hall to the trustees who had been running the charity. The town hall was sold at a 1966 auction for £1,137.
Financial problems caused the homes to become derelict and unfit for habitation by 2001. They were rescued and restored by the trustees in 2004-2006 at a coast of £325,000, which was raied through donations and grants.
There are now three larger homes, combined modern facilities with many historical features.
Awards for the restoration include one from HRH Prince of Wales.

My homemade "Antiques & Bygones" sign and railroad memorabilia (I used to work on that train in 1975). My daughter believes I worked on it in 1875...yeah, she's hilarious.
***UPDATE: Walter has been adopted by a very loving family***
Walter the Stud. The studded collar is from my daughter. She was making Walter into a Punk/Grunge kitty.
Walter is approximately 10 weeks old. He was found at 5 weeks old trying to eat dog food on someone's farm. He was obviously a socialized kitten, he has no fear of humans.
Since I began fostering Walter he has become quite a home body. He loves nothing more than to curl up on your lap or sleep with you at night. Like all kittens Walter is really good at finding mischief to get into (like wastebaskets, paperwork, etc.).
Walter is altered available for adoption now through Heartland Humane Society, 398 SW Twin Oaks Circle, Corvallis, OR 97333, Phone (541) 757-9000. Heartland Humane also has a website available at http://www.heartlandhumane.org.
Please adopt Walter or another deserving shelter cat!
