    Glitter Text

    All That Glitters – Spark and Dazzle from the Permananent Collection co-curated by Janine LeBlanc and Roger Manley Randy and Susan Woodson Gallery January 23 – July 12, 2020 Through the ages, every human society has demonstrated a fascination with shiny objects. Necklaces made of glossy marine snail shells have been dated back nearly 135,000 years, while shiny crystals have been found in prehistoric burials, suggesting the allure they once held for their original owners. The pageantry of nearly every religion has long been enhanced by dazzling displays, from the gilded statues of Buddhist temples and the gleaming mosaics of Muslim mosques and Byzantine churches, to the bejeweled altarpieces and reliquaries of Gothic cathedrals. As both kings and gods, Hawaiian and Andean royalty alike donned garments entirely covered with brilliant feathers to proclaim their significance, while their counterparts in other cultures wore crowns of gold and gems. High status and desirability have always been signaled by the transformative effects of reflected light. Recent research indicates that our brains may be hard-wired to associate glossy surfaces with water (tinyurl.com/glossy-as-water). If so, the impulse drawing us toward them may have evolved as a survival mechanism. There may also be subconscious associations with other survival necessities. Gold has been linked to fire or the sun, the source of heat, light, and plant growth. The glitter of beads or sequins may evoke nighttime stars needed for finding one’s way. The flash of jewels may recall an instinctive association with eyes. In jungles as well as open grasslands, both prey and predator can be so well camouflaged that only the glint of an eye might reveal a lurking presence.

    Blackwork Journey Blog, April 2018 March was a very busy month catching up on all the work that had been left until we came back from Kenya and Abu Dhabi. Collating the photographs made me realise just how much we had done in a few short weeks and how many ideas are bubbling away waiting to be designed and stitched. Meeting so many new people and listening to their ideas about needlework and working with them was inspiration in itself and I was delighted when Vicky sent me some photographs of the work that the ladies had done since I left. I look forward to seeing the pieces finished and their next projects. Whilst in Kenya, I had the opportunity to visit the Masai people in one of their villages in the Masai Mara to see their craft work. I also visited the craft market in Nairobi which was full of handmade items from jewellery and beading to paintings, wooden animals and weaving. The noise, atmosphere, bustle and vibrant colours made it fascinating and in between being hassled to buy something, I spoke to a number of stall holders about the beads and their history. African Trade Beads come in many different colours, shapes and sizes and whilst modern shops sell replicas to the tourists, the old strings of beads were made of brass, bone, amber and coins, thought to have medicinal and healing powers. Each bead was designed individually, irregular in shape and were often hand painted. They were frequently used as currency or bartered and were a symbol of wealth.

Feinzig Abstract This thesis examines bead preferences in Peru, Venezuela, and Colombia before and after the Spanish Conquest during the sixteenth century. By examining the spread of beads across a region, I was able to gain insight into colors and materials that people desired and identify potential patterns of resistance to glass beads. Information about the cultures and societies of my study are gleaned from examining glass and shell bead dispersion and their use before and after this period of significant cultural impact.
