The metaphor for each image is a clock, with a small square signifying the “hand” rotating around the perimeter. Anderson actually sets the time when she begins each piece, then engrosses herself in the process of experimentation with materials, patterns, textures and colour relationships. The artist writes, “These paintings appear as abstractions at first glance, but they are for me a very real visual diary… Each piece recalls the place in which I made the work, the world outside my studio, the time of day, the light, the sounds, and my own state of mind and heart – both spiritually and emotionally.” At 29.5" × 41.5" each, the paintings would allow extensive compositional detail, but Anderson manages to keep each one simple and streamlined. Anderson currently teaches at the Pratt Institute of Art in New York, where she once studied. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts from Scripps College in Claremont, California and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University. From 1996 to 1998, Anderson worked as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Berlin. She has Chris Anderson, Small Clocks (2006), mixed been the recipient of grants from The National Endowment for media [Bellevue Gallery, West Vancouver BC, Dec 6-Jan 7, 2007] the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Artists Space, Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts (CAPS Grant), and The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (Fulbright), among many others.

Time to set goals, and dust away the cobwebs of winter. It’s time to de-clutter our homes and lives. For our summer athletes, many training camps are well underway and for some competition seasons have already begun. For our winter athletes, it’s time to reflect upon the past year of achievements and challenges and fine tune the plan to prepare for off-season training. With less than 300 days to go until PyeongChang 2018, there’s no time to spare. Canadian athletes won 25 world championship medals this past season, leaving us tied for second in the final overall title rankings. The Winter Games are our domain, and we’re striving to be the top nation in 2018. Skiers like Erik Guay, Mikael Kingsbury and Alex Harvey are helping us get there. In February, Erik stormed the slopes and MESSAGE won silver in the men’s downhill at the 2017 World Alpine Skiing Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. That achievement came FROM THE hot on the heels of his super-G gold at the same event. Mikael Kingsbury was once again the picture of consistency this season. CANADIAN He secured his sixth-straight Crystal Globe honour as the World OLYMPIC Cup overall winner. Cross country skier Alex Harvey has been a standout on the Canadian Nordic team for years but came alive FOUNDATION this year, winning gold in the 50km freestyle race at the world championships in March.

  • Miroslav Tichý Kyjov, Moravia, Czech Republic
    MIROSLAV TICHÝ Kyjov, Moravia, Czech Republic. 1926-2011 Miroslav Tichy was born in 1926 in what is today the Czech Republic. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, he withdrew to his native city of Kyjov. At the end of the 1950’s, he gave up painting and embarked on personal journey. At the end of the 1960’s, he began taking photographs, particularly of local women, using handmade cameras he had made himself. He later added to the photos with a pencil and placed them in handmade frames, creating a style somewhere between photography and drawing. The result is a body of work with formal qualities that surprises due to its unusual nature, ignoring the rules of conventional photography. His images form an extensive oeuvre with a poetic vision of female beauty. Ivorypress inaugurated Space I with an exhibition of Tichy’s work in 2009. It was his first exhibition in Spain.

  • Langara College Archaeology Field School 2013: Archaeological and Forensic Studies
    The Langara College Archaeology Field School 2013: Archaeological and Forensic Studies Stanley A. Copp (Ph.D) Department of Sociology and Anthropology Langara College 100 West 49th Ave. Vancouver, B.C. Canada V5Y 2Z6 18 September 2013 Introduction Following on the success of the 2012 archaeology field school, students once again excavated artifacts, features, and replica human skeletal remains at the on-campus ‘site’ constructed in 2012 (see Copp 2012 for details), but doubled in size for 2013. Three 12’-square boxes containing seven sets of replica human skeletal remains configured as forensic archaeological features were excavated according to standard methodologies and protocols. An additional box contained artifacts and features, including a ½-scale replica human skeleton. Students definitely enjoyed ‘discovering’ the CSI-like aspects of the excavations, but seemed to enjoy even more the task of re-burying the remains in different configurations for next Summer (or for some lucky Forensic Anthropology students who would like near-real life excavation experiences). As in 2012, the 2013 field school students were tested to BC government RISC Archaeology and CMT survey certification standards. All were successful (again). Thanks are due the Archaeology Branch for allowing the RISC course to be embedded in Langara archaeology field schools. The RISC examination was the only written exam requirement for the program. Instead of regular exams or quizzes, evaluation consisted of 12 practical research assignments requiring research and analysis, laboratory exercises, field exercises recorded in a field notebook, daily journal entries and a major research paper. Keeping field records in a notebook and journal are mandatory requirements in the heritage consulting industry, as is developing a familiarity and skills in filling out site inventory and data forms.
