Brother Thomas' Copper Glazes 22 ABLAZE with SPIRIT PUCKER GALLERY • BOSTON Brother Thomas’ Copper Glazes THE RITUAL OF FRIENDSHIP ur lives are framed by ritual. Thousands of years ago we were organized in tribes, villages, families, and our daily lives were set by acts in response to the natural world as O we struggled to survive. Today, we are organized around all of the technological devices that surround and entangle us. Clearly human communities are saturated by the all-encompassing Internet. A hug, a handshake, a kiss, a handwritten letter, a home-cooked meal, an act of loving kindness all shine in the midst of the myriad forms of electronic communications. Not so for Brother Thomas. He was constantly in communication through his ceramic creations, which shared his spirit with all in his universe. He also handwrote letters and faxes to keep the flow of wisdom and friendship alive. His words, his ideas, his profound understanding of all of life’s happenings were shared daily with me. As the day at the Gallery came to a close, I would try to describe people and their responses, events and experiences for him. It proved to be a diary of the days at the Gallery and of our lives. The next morning his fax, always handwritten, would await me in the Gallery’s fax machine. He had re-focused the experiences of the previous day and managed to abstract wisdom, guides for living, and common sense solutions to all I had shared. Our friendship was and remains a continuous sharing of ideas, experiences, perceptions and feelings. Brother Thomas always brought a profound sense of awe before the magic, marvel and mystery of daily life. He shared his deeds and dreams; he helped me and so many others with his words, his wisdom and enduringly so with his creations. His art was an act of friendship, an act of love, an act of affirmation. He wrote, “Good is what we do, holy is what we become.” And we now understand that his good opened the door to holiness and friendship for each of us. Thank you, Brother Thomas. —Your friend, Bernie On the Eve of Passover, 5771: A time of renewal, hope and dreams Boston, Massachusetts COvEr: vAsE, textured copper red glaze 13 x 14 x 14˝ TH1600B All works are porcelain CREDITS: Design: Leslie Anne Feagley • Editors: Destiny M.

    MAPPING SURFICIAL MATERIALS IN NUNAVUT USING RADARSAT-2 C-HH AND C-HV, LANDSAT-8 OLI, DEM AND SLOPE DATA by Justin Thomas Bezanson Byatt BSc Environmental Management, University of New Brunswick, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Forestry In the Graduate Academy Unit of Forestry and Environmental Management Supervisors: Brigitte Leblon, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Armand LaRocque, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Advisory Committee: Jeff Harris, PhD Isabelle McMartin, PhD, Geological Survey of Canada Examining Board: Fan-Rui Meng, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Emmanuel Stefenakis, PhD, GGE This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2017 © Justin Thomas Bezanson Byatt, 2017 ABSTRACT The Canadian Arctic is currently the focus of increased mapping activities, which aim to provide better knowledge to assist in making informed decisions for sustainable minerals and energy development, and land-use management. One of the required maps deals with surficial materials. This thesis studies the potential of combining RADARSAT-2 SAR images with Landsat-8 optical data, DEM and slope data to map surficial materials in the region around Wager Bay, Nunavut. Two study areas were selected, one on the northern side of the bay (NTS map areas 046E, K, L, M, 056H, I, J) and another one on the southern side (NTS map sheets 046D, E, 055P, 056A, H). The images were classified using a non-parametric classifier Random Forests. The results show that including RADARSAT-2 images in the classification process increases the overall classification accuracy from 92.8% to 98.1% in the north region and 96.7% to 99.3% in the south region.

  • Brother Thomas Seeking the Sublime
    Brother thoMas seeking the sublime Fuller CraF t MuseuM | BroCkton 1 a triBute to Brother thomas — Vase Form — textured White and i ron Yellow Glaze 8.75 x 9.25 x 9.25" th437B ith the four alchemical elements of earth, Water, air and Fire, Brother thomas formed his porcelain vessels and chargers, then glazed them with salts of copper or iron W suspended in crystalline silica. this marriage of materials forms as permanent or lasting of a bond as is in any art form. all fired ceramics arrest the moment of making and resist deterioration induced by time. Permanence is part of the wonder of the potter’s art, no matter what the objective of the potter might be. like all who work with clay, Brother thomas made works that contain mysteries, memories, discoveries and intentions. his creations were formed for the spirit’s birth while searching for the beautiful. they were meant to be shared and contemplated, and therefore, seeking the sublime is the perfect manner in which to honor Bezanson and provide these experiences to individuals on a wide-scale. all Works are Por Celain. 2 While Brother thomas is now gone, his living presence continues through individuals who encounter his works. those who personally knew Brother thomas found his quiet presence, humility, and subtle wit a joy to experience. For example, when asked by his mother what he did for work, he responded by explaining that he made “crockery.” this self-deprecation both reflected his natural modesty and humor, for he did not make utilitarian or functional pottery.
