    “... I think there is merit in just ’being.’ Somehow or other the greatest gift we have is the gift of our own consciousness, and that is worth savouring. Just to be in a place that’s so silent that you can hear the blood going through your arteries and be aware of your own existence, that you are matter that knows it is matter, and that this is the ultimate miracle.” – Christopher Pratt, artist 584 This painting entitled We Filled ‘Em To The Gunnells by Sheila Hollander shows what life possibly may have been like in XXX circa XXX. Fig. 3.4 Artist profiles 585 Artist profile Fig. 1 Angela Andrew Angela Andrew – Tea Doll Designer Innu tea dolls have been created by Nitassinan Innu of Quebec and Labrador for over a hundred years. (The earliest collected examples of tea dolls date back to the 1880s.) But today, Angela Andrew of Sheshatshiu is one of the few craftspeople keeping the tradition alive. She makes as many as 100 tea dolls a year – many of which are sold to art collectors. Angela learned the art of making tea dolls from Maggie Antoine, a woman from her father’s community of Davis Inlet. She learned her sewing skills from her parents, who originally lived a life of hunting and trapping in the bush. Angela played with tea dolls as a child. She explains that when her family travelled across Labrador, following the caribou and other game, everyone in the family helped pack and carry their belongings ‑ even the smallest children. Because of this, older women made dolls for the little girls and stuffed them with as much as a kilogram (two pounds) of loose tea leaves.

  • PA HALL Prayer Is the Study of Art
    W HIPPIN THE T PA HALL Prayer is the study of art. Praise is the practice of art. - William Blake, The Laocoon Callanish Stones - Main Circle I was stone, mysterious stone; my breach was a violent one, my birth like a wounding estrangement, but now I should like to return to that certainty, to the peace of the center, the matrix of mothering. stone. - Pablo Neruda, SkystonesXX/II cover: The Wounded Cross MEMORIALUNIVERSITY ART GALLERY ST. JOHN'S NEWFOUNDLAND1987 INTRODUCTION Pam Hall's intention, in her Worshipping the Stone series, is to make monuments - in a time and society in which we seem to believe we need none . In making these works she draws not only on her own skills and imagination but on a personal enduring response to the earliest monuments we know. the great prehistoric stone sites such as Comae in Brittany, Avebury, Dartmoor, and , in particu lar Callanish in Scotland . Hall shares with many artists this reference to prehistory, this working from forms of the past to g ive meaning to the present. American art historian Lucy Lippard has described anc ient sites, symbols and artifacts as a major source of Ideas for American artists of the past two decades . She sees this in part as breaking away from a reductive art focused on purely formal elements and. in larger part , as an effort to restore to art a function beyond decoration, to give it an integral role in daily life as a link between humans and their environment, a concrete expression of some general human experience .1 Such contemporary art is extremely diverse, ranging from ritualistic performance pieces and body works such as those of Ana Mendieta , through sculpture, to giant-scale earthworks by artists like Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson.

  • Creates and Cahén in the Spotlight at the Beaverbrook | National Gallery of Canada 2017-11-21, 450 PM
    Creates and Cahén in the Spotlight at the Beaverbrook | National Gallery of Canada 2017-11-21, 450 PM Creates and Cahén in the Spotlight at the Beaverbrook Stephen Dale November 21, 2017 Searching for a way to celebrate visual arts traditions during Canada’s sesquicentennial year, Fredericton’s Beaverbrook Art Gallery went deep and wide. Earlier this year, the Gallery hosted Canadian Mosaic, an exhibition that encompassed every inch of gallery space. Now, it’s also going deep, showcasing two artists whose divergent approaches hint at the eclecticism of Canadian art. The result is two major back-to-back retrospectives examining the significant — yet very different —contributions of photographer and environmental artist Marlene Creates and pioneering abstract painter Oscar Cahén. Since the late 1970s, Creates has conducted ever- deepening inquiries into the layered relationships between humans, the land, and language. Cahén, meanwhile, was a mercurial figure on the Toronto art scene of the 1950s, a prolific and influential ambassador for abstract art in a country just beginning to embrace modernity. He was only 40 when he died in a car crash outside of Oakville, Ontario in 1956. https://www.gallery.ca/magazine/exhibitions/creates-and-cahen-in-the-spotlight-at-the-beaverbrook Page 1 of 8 Creates and Cahén in the Spotlight at the Beaverbrook | National Gallery of Canada 2017-11-21, 450 PM Oscar Cahén, Still life, 1950, pastel on illustration board, 71 x 91.3 cm.
