  • British Home Child Group International
    August, 2018 British Home Child Group International Brantford, Barnardo’s and Ignatius Cockshutt by Sandra Joyce Barnardo’s, as well as other organizations that supported sending child migrants to Canada, depended greatly on the support of wealthy philan- thropists on both sides of the ocean. Most of the philanthropists were highly religious and believed that it was their moral obligation to help the poor. One of the wealthiest men in Canada during his lifetime, Ignatius Cockshutt, was no exception. A founding father of Brantford and a member of the Inghamites (a Methodist sect), Cockshutt believed it his Christian duty to help others who were not as fortunate as he was. Not only was he a regular financial contributor to Barnardo’s, he also offered to help place British Home Children in the Brantford area. The Cockshutt family emigrated to Canada in July 1827 when Ignatius was sixteen. Originally, his father, James Cockshutt, had planned for the family to move to Pennsylvania but on their journey across the ocean, a friend convinced James to go into business with him in York (Toronto). This lasted only one year as James then decided to become a general merchant. In 1829, he opened a branch of his business in Brantford which was still part of the Six Nations reserve. Ignatius was to run the store. It failed after only one year, as white settlement in the area was slow. Caucasians were viewed as squatters. Two years after the town-site was taken over by the crown, Ignatius persuaded his father to reopen the branch.

  • Madge Gill Nature in Mind
    Madge Gill Nature in Mind Royal Victoria Dock Borough of Newham The Line | Thomas J Price, Reaching Out The Line Proposed View Background The Line is London’s first dedicated public art walk. Unveiled in 2015, its outdoor exhibition programme illuminates an inspiring landscape where everyone can explore art, nature and heritage for free. The route runs between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian. Visitors are able to walk, cycle or run The Line. It is free for everyone and democratizes the presentation of museum- quality contemporary art by removing it from the gallery and bringing it outdoors so that it can be enjoyed by locals, Londoners and visitors to the capital. There are currently artworks by fourteen artists. Three artworks were unveiled in 2020 during The Line’s fifth anniversary year: Reaching Out by Thomas J Price; Bird Boy by Laura Ford; and Sanko-time, a sound commission, by Larry Achiampong. There are a number of new installations Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners due to be unveiled during 2021. The Line draws people away from heavily trafficked roads and on to quiet river paths. It enables contact with nature and art, which can improve wellbeing and reduce stress levels and provides a valuable and unique learning resource. The Line is working with partners, stakeholders and local councils along the route to establish comprehensive outreach programs encompassing learning and education and health and well-being for local communities and visitors. In 2020, The Line unveiled its new website and digital guide (with the free Bloomberg Connects app) to further encourage exploration of the art, nature and heritage along the route in real life and from afar.

  • Accidental Genius: Art from the Anthony Petullo Collection Biographies of the Artists
    Accidental Genius: Art from the Anthony Petullo Collection Biographies of the Artists Consuelo Amézcua American, b. Mexico, 1903–1975 Born in Piedras Negras, Mexico, Consuelo ―Chelo‖ González Amézcua moved to Del Rio, Texas, with her parents and five siblings in 1913. Her parents were storytellers, musicians, and teachers. Amézcua intended to study art at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City, but she forfeited her scholarship due to the death of her father. Amézcua started drawing in 1964 and first exhibited in 1968. Her intricate early drawings are in black ballpoint pen on card. She subsequently incorporated colored inks, crayon, and felt-tip pen. Many of her drawings feature her poems, for which she received several awards in Mexico. She also took up carving into stone shells in 1956. Amézcua mapped out her drawings in her head, then filled the surrounding page with lines reminiscent of the filigree jewelry that she often wore. These lines recall the decorative arts of pre-Columbian cultures and Mexican textiles. Her subjects include colonial architecture, exotic locales, biblical iconography, Mexican folklore, Native American heroes, and decorative elements such as flowers, fans, and peacocks. Amézcua continued to live in Del Rio with her sister until her death. Eddie Arning American, 1898–1993 Eddie Arning was born in Germania, Texas. His parents, both German immigrants of Lutheran faith, had five children. In 1905 the couple purchased a farm. Arning lived and worked on the farm until 1928, when the Austin County Court sent him to the state hospital because of violent behavior. In 1934 he was committed to the Texas Confederate Home for Men, where staff member Helen Mayfield provided art materials to the patients.
