Glazed And Confused

Mark Arbuckle: Glasgow, April 2024 I’m sure everybody remembers the first time they earned their own money and didn’t need to depend on their parents’ generosity ie pocket money…. In the early 70s, earning a few bob made saving up for the latest single (at 7/6d), new pair of Dr. Martens (at £4 10/-) or Arthur Black bespoke shirt (anywhere between £5-£8 depending on how many pleats, plackets,…

the thing is it changes a lot! like, i would totally take most of my liverpool friends to manchester for some ruins, it's just a bit of a bus ride. i would have to be quite close with like, a duntocher friend to do that, but i'd have to be actually married to any of my sydney friends.

Going to measure all of my relationships from now on by how close we are to the “going to Manchester to a burned down building” stage

A Roman fortlet thought lost to time is rediscovered

This newly discovered fortlet would have been part of several fortlets along the Antonine Wall.

It would have been occupied by 10 to 12 Roman soldiers who were stationed at a larger fort nearby, likely to be Duntocher, and manned the fort for a week at a time before being replaced by another detachment.

The fortlet would have been made up of two small wooden buildings to house the soldiers staying there and will have been used for the 20 years (142 CE – 162 CE) that the Antonine Wall was defended as the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire.

Repetition.

Using two prints I wanted to create work that had the commotion and the repetition that I had mentioned previously. When we attempt to be successful or approach something that requires lots of work things always seem to get out of hand becoming unmanageable. A lot of the time this is just our minds making us think that everything is falling apart as we take on more than we can handle.The images remind me of work by Timorous Beasties with the repetition and flow of the work. If this work were to be scaled up to wallpaper size to cover a wall it could be more demanding to look at. Again with these works I wanted to leave colour out of the mix for the time being and just work with black and white.

Once I had completed the two works above I believed they had a similar appearance to Timorous Beasties Glasgow Toile, the share a similar tone and appearance and using repetition enhances this.

Timorous Beasties

Glasgow Toile Wallpaper- £220 per role.

In 2004 Timorous Beasties launched their Glasgow Toile. Consistent with the original toile de Jouey fabrics of Napoleonic France, Timorous Beasties' new design includes a balance of floral, architectural, and human contexts. However, through reference to images of Glasgow, they have articulated an exclusively urban genre. Focusing on the under-belly of urban social realism, images of drug and alchohol abuse have been framed in the context of some of Glasgow's most famous architectural landmarks and public spaces. Available to be used for Curtains or Light, Occasional Upholstery.

Timorous Beasties has defined an iconoclastic style of design once described as “William Morris on acid." Typical is the Glasgow Toile. At first glance it looks like one of the magnificent vistas portrayed on early 1800s Toile de Jouy wallpaper, but closer inspection reveals a nightmarish vision of contemporary Glasgow where crack addicts, prostitutes and the homeless are depicted against a forbidding backdrop of dilapidated tower blocks and scavenging seagulls. Timorous Beasties was founded in Glasgow in 1990 by Alistair McAuley, born in Duntocher in 1967, and Paul Simmons, born in Brighton in 1967, who met as students at Glasgow School of Art.

Glasgow trams passing 'The Star Bar' by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph taken by 'The Star Bar' (Eglinton St is on the left and Pollokshaws Rd on the right) of Glasgow Corporation Tramways (GCT) cars No. 90 (left) showing '25 - Springburn - Castle Street' and No. 72 showing '5 - Holmlea Rd - Battlefield' destination blinds. 

 I did think that this could be 60 rather than 90 but 'The Glasgow Tramcar' has 60 as being cut down to a single decker for use on the Clydebank - Duntocher route. 

 Modern day view:- tinyurl.com/ymd5h2a2 

 The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of R. B. Parr and the date 18 Apr 1957. 

 Nos. 90 and 72 were hex dash (top covered and unvestibuled) Glasgow 'Standard' cars built by GCT at Coplawhill in January and August 1920 respectively as part of 'phase III' of its tram building/rebuilding programme, they seated 24/38 and ran on a 4 wheel Brill/Brush 21E truck. In June and April 1929 they were rebuilt as fully enclosed as part of 'phase IV' of the standard car programme keeping their original trucks. They were withdrawn from service in Feb 1959 and Oct 1960 both being broken up back at Coplawhill. The parts of the Glasgow tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Sep 1962.

 Any photograph, ephemera, etc I post on Flickr is in my possession, nothing is copied from another location. The original photographer may have taken copies from their original negative and passed them out (sold them?) so there may be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo, although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type photos where there are not any other photos exactly the same in existence.

"We Come to You for Healing, Lord" (12-bar blues)

Tom Keesecker writes,

Rev. Dr. Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr. and Malcolm John Rebennack Jr. (aka Dr. John) were the inspirations for my setting of the hymn tune MARTYRDOM. In the ELW, MARTYRDOM is coupled with Stuempfle's hymn "We Come to You for Healing, Lord." In my collection "The Quiet Heart, Piano Music for Comfort and Healing" I focus on hymns that deal with "healing" or "heart." While working on this setting in the summer of 2019 the news broke of Dr. John's death. I finished my setting as an homage to his style of New Orleans piano and twelve-bar blues. 

+++

The hymn lyrics:

We come to you for healing, Lord, of body, mind, and soul, and pray that by your Spirit’s touch we may again be whole.

As once you walked through ancient streets and reached toward those in pain, we know you come among us still with power to heal again.

You touch us through physicians’ skills, through nurses’ gifts of care, and through the love of faithful friends who lift our lives in prayer.

Through nights of pain and wakefulness, through days when strength runs low, grant us your gift of patience, Lord, your calming peace to know.

We come to you, O loving Lord, in our distress and pain, in trust that through our nights and days your grace will heal, sustain.

Audio file of the music played on an organ: https://hymnary.org/media/fetch/205401

The tune MARTYRDOM was originally an eighteenth-century Scottish folk melody used for the ballad "Helen of Kirkconnel." Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) adapted MARTYRDOM into a hymn tune in duple meter around 1800. A triple-meter version of the tune was first published by Robert A. Smith (b. Reading, Berkshire, England, 1780; d. Edinburgh, Scotland, 1829) in his Sacred Music (1825), a year after Wilson's death....  The tune's title presumably refers to the martyred Scottish Covenantor James Fenwick, whose last name is also the name of the town where Wilson lived. Consequently, in Scotland this tune has always had melancholy associations. https://hymnary.org/tune/martyrdom_wilson

Solar Panels Battery in Duntocher | Funding For Solar

Solar panels are an excellent way to deflate your home's electricity bill costs. Choosing the right solar panel for your home can be difficult, but with a bit of research, it's easy to find the best option. Here are six tips to help you choose the right solar panel's battery Duntocher: 1. Consider your needs: If you're starting, looking at different solar panel options based on your specific needs might be helpful. For example, if you need high-wattage panels or want them in a particular location. 2. Consider your budget/project size. Solar panels come in a wide variety of sizes and wattages, so it's important to know what you'll be using them for before you make a decision. Depending on how much you're going to be using your solar panels, the size and wattage of the panel will determine how much money you'll need to invest. If you're only going to use one solar panel, it's a good idea to purchase a smaller panel to save money.
