O'o: The Last Voice of Kauai (2022) [4 min] by Hanah Cincotta | USA

[kittyplushy]

knocking on your door! hi hi ^_^ i'd love to hear more about cubao expo and google maps..!!

feeling down lately, so here's my answer for ya :)

Cubao Expo doesn't have a design yet but i've heavily molded her after Lesley to be honest. In historical context, Cubao Expo used to be a strip mall for shoes imported from the Philippine shoe capital Marikina hence the old name Marikina Shoe Expo. However, after the economic crash of 1980-90 post Martial Law, the shoe stores began disappearing due to the lack of sales. In the early 2000s though, artists rented the spaces for their residencies and soon after, vintage, antique, comic, and small businesses started renting in and creating this kitchy, indie-punk community in the heart of the universe.

I imagine she's a businesswoman who loves art and shoes. She's upper-middle class and loves collecting records, cds, art, toys, jewelry, etc. She has an extensive collection of all sorts of things which inspires her to make art. Cubao Expo is an older woman who is part of the punk subculture and is against the rapid gentrification of Barangay Socorro (which is the real name of Cubao). She fights to keep this niche little corner of the barangay accessible and affordable to creatives.

Although open, she is a curator, and sometimes has to low-ball and give in to popular trends despite disdaining them. She's fond of her customers, especially this beginner zine artist who wants to impress her <3 She knows she likes her, and holds out because she loves the attention, but she eventually reciprocates by sharing back that love she gives <3

I imagine she wears black and gold, with beautiful dangling earrings, splashes of color in some glass beads and gems, long lashes, pink lipstick, and white hair. She wears a unique pair of shoes each time she appears. CE loves Filipino and Italian food, Arches Of Loaf, Ace Of Base, Rumiko Takahashi manga, custom glass beads, collectable toys, and history. She's always hidden in a crowd of young people during rock nights, and people watching from the 2nd floor of a coffee shop.

She isn't too complex but she's just a very passionate patron of all arts and will fight to preserve a safe 3rd space for artists.

Ooh and for Google Maps, her nickname is Mip! I have posted a human design for her, and despite her looks, she's actually quite young! She just stayed up late a lot during college and her first job but she's full of life and love! She's a driving instructor by day, and occasionally works as a digital cartographer at night. She enjoys cooking, camping, trekking, and photography. She often finds herself soul searching and wandering the general area she's in to ground and amuse herself. Mip is a goofball honestly and she's not too serious but it is quite easy to tick her off...be careful!! Mip loves collecting rings, clips, and neckties. She's genderfluid and leans more towards androgyny.

What does my social identity bring to my photography? (Week 9)

My photographs are a way to show how I perceive the spaces around me. Small patterns that occur and the details of a moment that go unnoticed are what I aim to exhibit. Growing up in a middle-class family with not a lot of spare change, I appreciate the opportunities that are given to me. To be able to photograph and share these moments, shedding light on them for others to see, means a lot to me. 

From a cultural standpoint, I feel as if I am on the edge of two cultures. Being a pakeha living in Aotearoa, I can appreciate the Māori culture and all that it stands for, but it isn’t my culture. I also struggle to identify with the British culture as I don’t understand what the ‘British culture’ is (red telephone boxes, double decker buses and fish and chips?). Isolated between, I find myself identifying more with my family's culture and the traditions we have created that bring us together. Expanding on that, I identify with my community's culture as well. The area I live it has quite a large range of cultures within it (NZ European, South African, Chinese etc.). It is the uniting of these different backgrounds in events and routines within the community that I resonate with the most. This is an aspect that I have enjoyed exploring in my photography this semester: patterns that occur within my community (people walking on the beach, Chinese chip shop owners etc.). 

Evident through my photography, my preference of genre is Observing + Documenting. Through observation I notice the patterns in my environment and am able to document said pattern using my camera as a tool. I like the idea of my photography being encountered in a small art gallery, such as Ōrewa's local gallery Estuary Arts Center. As a more accessible option, the images could be available as an online gallery or as a physical book. I hope that through these choices of display, the ideas that I have focused on within my community are evident.

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: Loss and Invention by Ann Gengarelly

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/loss-and-invention-by-ann-gengarelly/

Loss and Invention is a compelling journey of transformation. While the #poetry bears witness to the pain of loss, both personal and universal, it equally uncovers resilience and solace in the natural world. With devoted attention to trees, the visitation from bears, wild turkeys, ravens…who reveal the Mysteries, the poems embody wisdom and offer signposts to discover light. As we travel with the words, we find ourselves at junctures where new languages must be invented, and we hear pleas for healing, both for the poet and for the beggar along the road; as well as Mother and Father. Finally, arriving at “a pond in dark forests,” we can now “trust what we see:” and welcome our “own reflections.”

Ann Gengarelly, since 1980, has been a poet-in-the schools throughout Southeastern Vermont and neighboring Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Ann is Director of The Poetry Studio at her home in Marlboro, Vermont, where she offers after-school and summer classes for students (ages 6-17). Since 2002, Ann has taught adult creative writing classes in The Studio as well. Ann holds an MA degree from Goddard College in creativity and education with an emphasis on poetry-in-the schools. In 1988 she received an honorary Doctorate for Teaching Excellence from Marlboro College. For seven years Ann was a Faculty Associate at Hampshire College. She has been a consultant for the Integrated Day Program at the University of Massachusetts. With an emphasis on poetry she has designed and presented professional development workshops for teachers at Lesley University, Bank Street College and the Antioch, NE, Graduate School of Education. She has published in numerous professional journals ranging from Teachers and Writers Magazine to The Elementary School Journal (University of Chicago Press). She is the co-author with her husband Tony of Another World: Poetry and Art by Young People from The Poetry Studio (Luminare press, 2021).

PRAISE FOR Loss and Invention by Ann Gengarelly

“Ann Gengarelly is a messenger between the material and immaterial worlds. She reports back to us that there are devastating damages in the past both personal and historical that call for a reckoning, and there are gorgeous transformative powers in the present that call for our attention. She is alert to the “calculus of time”. She is unafraid. Her approach is to be alert and alive to indwelling as a spiritual practice of god listening. The poems reveal devoted attention and mindfulness whether she is writing about the resilience of the willow or Cordelia’s lament from King Lear. The flower for Ann Gengarelly is a trigger. In that way she is an anthologist, that is from the anthers of flowers comes a way of entering into the world of blossom and abundance as a necessary counterweight to the difficult world.”

–Bruce Smith, professor, Syracuse University MFA Program and author of Devotions

“The beautiful poems in Loss and Invention sing of persistence and survival, the mysteries of the garden, the healing that awaits in the natural world. Guided by the seasons, haunted by ancestral ghosts, Ann Gengarelly takes us on an intimate journey through a northern landscape, balancing light and shadow, grief and love. Despite unspeakable sorrow, her speakers find kinship with trees and listen to “the music of snow.” They get close to the earth and its plants and animals, explore motherhood and daughterhood with a wisdom grounded in attention. Gengarelly is a poet who understands “the wordless language of hummingbirds.” I loved this courageous, hopeful book.”

–Diana Whitney, editor & book coach, author of Dark Beds

“From its title joining “Loss and Invention,” Ann Gengarelly’s poetry collection meets both sorrowful and mystical struggles with clear-eyed, eloquent acceptance. While the poems often contain unanswerable questions, they also insist on turning toward the consoling transformations of the natural world—such as those impressionistically rendered as “the talk of trees” and fog “slow-dancing above the pond.” Even as she includes the reader with generous tenderness as “part of the caravan of the wounded,” Gengarelly reminds us to “reclaim our roots of embracing/both darkand light.”

–Elizabeth Rosner, author of three novels and a poetry collection; most recently the author of Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory.

Currently - Teaches at Woodbury University School of Architecture and the Southern California Institute of Architecture.

I found this part of my research on April Greiman very useful as it expanded on my last set of research. This timeline information is more focused on the big achievements in her life compared to the other research which included exploring her work, her aesthetic, what drives her, her inspirations etc. I would like to do more research about her honorary doctorates to find out how she achieved them. Since those awards are are a major accomplishment in the industry, it would be interesting to know how she got to that point in her life and the work she put in to gain those accomplishments. Finding out more information about April Greiman will allow me to get a better understanding about the process that goes into her work. This would also help me to create a more distinguished timeline poster in her aesthetic/style which is asked of in the brief for this semester.

ACE AIR: GEORGINA ARROYO

Program: Ace AIR Location: Ace Hotel New York Date of Stay: 04-15-18 Artist: Georgina Arroyo

Georgina Arroyo spent a night at Ace Hotel New York and created a piece entitled Crossing based on her interest in the realm "where place and identity intersect." She used lino cut print, photo transfer, graphite and marker. Georgina explains:

I wanted to experiment with various mediums to explore these ideas. Can a place alter who we are? Is our identity tied to where we live? I used photo transfers and tracings of a map of my childhood neighborhood as a starting point and tried to blend myself into the image.

Georgina Arroyo is a visual artist specializing in works on paper, printmaking, new media and interdisciplinary work. Georgina's work currently focuses on exploration of self, especially in the digital age. She was born and raised in Queens, NY and received a BFA at Lesley University College of Art & Design in Cambridge, MA. She now works out of her studio in Brooklyn, NY.

This April, our Artists in Residence are curated by Children’s Museum of the Arts, located in the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo. Founded in October 1988 by Kathleen Schneider, CMA’s mission is to introduce children and their families to the transformative power of the arts by providing opportunities to make art side-by-side with working artists. In 2010, CMA broke ground on a new state-of-the-art 10,000 square-foot facility that would benefit a range of ages and abilities. The museum has served hundreds of thousands of children and families, 27% free of charge.

New Indoor Garden Opens At Chelsea And Westminster Hospital

Design: Jinny Blom

Address: 369 Fulham Rd, London SW10 9NH

Chelsea And Westminster Hospital Sky Garden in London

Sky Garden Designed By Jinny Blom To Support Physical And Psychological Needs Of Intensive Care Patients

6th September 2021, London. Today, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and its charity CW+ have unveiled a new indoor botanical Sky Garden at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, designed by award-winning landscape designer and CW+ Artist in Residence, Jinny Blom. The Sky Garden will bring the outdoors inside, supporting the cognitive function, wellbeing, and rehabilitation of patients in intensive care.

CW+ aims to improve the patient environment and experience in the hospital, and research has shown that incorporating elements of nature into healthcare environments can improve healing. The Sky Garden is part of the redevelopment and expansion of the recently opened Adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the top floor of the hospital, and has been installed adjacent to the ICU, with Jinny creating a transformative experience for both patients and staff, where they can escape into nature and feel transported away from the clinical environment.

Jinny, who was appointed by CW+ to design the garden, is a former Psychologist and Psychotherapist, and knows only too well the benefits of biophilia (meaning ‘love of nature’) in healthcare and the impact of nature, plants and landscapes on patient recovery and wellness. Developed through consultation and design workshops with former patients and ICU staff, Jinny’s idea was to create a space with multiple zones responding to the many differing needs of the ICU. As a result, one side of the garden is more active with a physiotherapy ramp for recovering patients, but there is also a sociable space for conversations or just some peace and quiet.

With first-hand experience of working in a stressful NHS environment, Jinny has also incorporated sleep pods, which were funded by NHS Charities Together, and are in a quiet corner of the garden for medical staff who need to work long hours caring for patients with complex needs. There is also a quiet zone where a patient can be brought on their bed and spend precious private time with their family.

The design of the garden takes its cue from Modernist architecture. The garden is very low toxin in its makeup as it is principally timber. Furniture has been designed with a calming colour palette and uses soft-to-touch yet hard-wearing lino, another natural product made of flax. Abundant planting ameliorates the air and sound quality within the garden. The tree canopy will shade the garden from its bright natural light, and the plants within the garden have been chosen for their suitability to this demanding environment and will be cared for organically, without chemicals or pesticides.

Jinny Blom, who also created a Greenhaven Garden at the rear of the hospital several years ago, says: “Gardens, quite simply, improve our lives. To go and sit amongst plants and nature, especially in the context of a bustling hospital, has an immediate positive impact on stress levels. The Sky Garden will provide an irreplaceable source of respite to those in need”.

Trystan Hawkins, Director of Patient Environment at CW+, says: “We are thrilled with the Sky Garden which Jinny has so carefully designed. There is a wealth of research which demonstrates how natural environments have a real impact on patient’s wellbeing, recovery and mood. Many of our patients, especially in ICU, are unable to leave the hospital, often for prolonged lengths of time, so having this space of tranquillity and nature will be invaluable”.

The new, world-class adult and neonatal intensive care units which opened last month at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital provide unique patient-centred care, and the latest innovations and digital solutions to improve patient experience and recovery.

Lesley Watts, Chief Executive of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, says: “We are delighted to open the Sky Garden which will be a welcome green space to so many patients, and being located outside our new state-of-the-art ICU, will complement our patient-led approach to care in the unit. We are very grateful for the generous donations from patients and our supporters. Their unfailing kindness, support and interest that they have shown led to the creation and funding of this marvellous indoor garden, which will provide a therapeutic and relaxing space for our patients and staff.”

CW+ works throughout the hospital, transforming and improving the patient environment and experience. The Sky Garden is one of only two green spaces in the UK designed specifically to incorporate the physical and psychological needs of intensive care patients and their families.

Jinny Blom

Jinny Blom set up her design practice in 2000 and has since been accumulating an extraordinary range of commissions in the UK, Europe, Africa, Middle East and the USA.

Jinny is an accomplished plants woman, having studied plant habitats meticulously over the years. She has a strong inclination towards landscapes being part of an ongoing therapeutic debate. Her first career as a transpersonal psychologist used landscaping extensively and with startlingly positive results. Her sensitivity to places and people allows her to respond thoughtfully to commissions. She is a Board Member of the Therapeutic Landscapes Network in NYC and a Brother of the Artworkers Guild.
