Women in Pizza: Jen Wright

**In celebration of Women’s History Month, I’ll be posting about women in the pizza community every few days this month. The pizza biz is pretty male-dominated, so let’s take this opportunity to throw the spotlight onto some of the women who are doing amazing work in the pizza world. 

Jen Wright is the co-founder and president of GreenBox, the pizza box that just might save the planet. Beyond being a 100% recycled box (not terribly uncommon), the GreenBox has a secondary use. The lid breaks apart to form four plates and the base folds into itself to form a storage container for leftover slices. It’s absolutely brilliant!

Although she definitely loves pizza, Jen’s true background is in business. The economic downturn of 2008 pushed her out of her gig at Citigroup and onto the Columbia Business School campus, where she earned her MBA. By the end of 2009, she formed Ecovention, the original name of the umbrella company that produces the GreenBox, with Ned Kensing and the box’s inventor William Walsh.

The team developed the product, which Jen presented on the TV show Shark Tank. The box has inspired several copycats, but GreenBox remains the clear leader in pizza box innovation in terms of reusability and marketing capabilities. With Jen Wright at the helm, it’s likely you’ll be seeing way more GreenBoxes at your local pizzeria and fewer big pizza boxes shoved into trash cans.

I went to see ‘Ecovention Europe’ in Sittard (NL) which shows a range of ecoventions made since the 1950′s. All shed light on the environmental crisis we find ourselves in at this moment in time. 

Here a range of beautiful chromatographs of different kinds of soil by Debra Solomon.

Rosemary Horn 'One Sun, One Leaf, One Afternoon'

https://photogirl.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Rosemary-Horn-Plymouth-College-Lecture-Oct09s.pdf

A lecture at the Plymouth College of Arts 15th October 2009.

“Any thoughtful person involved in the arts must balance his poetic concerns against the weight of Real World need.” (Spaid, 2002, p.i)

How does photography contribute to environmental issues?

With the advent of digital photography images are a dime a dozen, we are almost wasteful about making them. I feel images have been cheapened and lack the reverence they once held. We seem so physically removed from the creation of the photograph, the images are administered through a digital source from start to end. For me Photography was becoming to mechanical, to disassociated from something real, something tactile.

There is so much monotony in sitting in front of a computer to do everything, I can shop, research, pay bills, book flights, find recipes, make images, get a weather forecast, ring people, meet people, play games, print images, find jobs and of course we do our jobs on them. There is not much we don't do on a computer these days. Creating images with leaves brings back an element of preciousness.

You have to search for your materials, select appropriate plants and plan your image making around the weather. There is direct involvement with your surrounding environment and the materials you use, they are not static, they are changing and growing and dying. The fragility of the materials is also reflected in the presentation of the images to an audience.

Artists who have employed photosynthesis as a medium for their work have used it mainly for its inherent transformative qualities.

It seems that many Photographers take their medium for granted, they barely consider the materials, process or output of their images and they don't question their own use of materials, instead they are focused on the images they are going to make. I felt that Photography was too isolated and to caught up in its own purity, its own ideas of the things required to make a successful photograph.

The final images are cast in blocks of resin “like biological specimens for scientific studies” (svam.org) enhancing the idea of fragility with the protection and preservation of the resin giving the work an air of importance. (Binh Dahn's work)

Susan Derges uses the direct process of photograms placed in water to capture “fleeting and elusive“ (Derges, 1999 p.24) moments to create the River Taw (Fig.6) series.

The use of natural processes to produce photographic imagery takes the work beyond physical presentation, the actions in the production is as much a part of the work as the final image.

An accurate transcription of a beautiful landscape is too common place to raise such questioning but it does make for inoffensive and widely appealing saleable work, with the motives of the artist remaining questionable.

...the trend of environmentally concerned photographic art has tended to rely on the traditional ideas of beauty for its impact. Concerns that they “glorify what they depict are countered by the argument that the photographs are art, not propaganda or corporate publicity” (Bright, 1992, p.69).

On site-specific artwork: Artists concerned with reaching a wide audience, having a direct impact on local communities through art projects to initiate ecological awareness and proactive action have been functioning since the 1960’s. They incorporate the artist in a pro-active role where they not only identify an ecological problem they propose a solution that improves a site, educates and involves communities.

Art seems to be measured in a different way from science. Scientific experiments carried out in the context of the art world, are able to withstand a higher level of risk than typical scientific experiments. Such experiments usually cost less as works of art and garner broad support as community-building public projects, a feature that gives ecoventions a distinct advantage over pure science. Furthermore, their success isn't judged by the artist's ultimate ability to publish the results or pay back sponsors like the National Science Foundation, as would be the case for scientists. Mel Chin's Revival Field began as an incredibly inexpensive experiment that a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist couldn't get funded. When it comes to art, sponsors don't weigh practical priorities or expect to make a profit, the way funders of scientific research do. Art is viewed as a positive contribution that makes a long-term restoration project immediately attractive to a wider audience.

It is significant that the artist becomes the problem solver instead of the commentator.

I looked at the analogue and digital processes and decided to go with digital. I felt the volume of water used in developing processes was to much and also the chemicals and metals used in the film and printing processes was not to be encouraged. The decision to use digital technologies is also fraught with negative environmental impacts. Manufacturers design these products to be out of date within short times, the materials used in the components are highly toxic and the obsolete products are not always broken down in safe environments they are instead left in landfills.

The basic process is using the sun to make an image using a contact printing process, so the negative is laid directly on the photosensitive medium.

My intention was to use digital capture and then create negatives (actually positives as I discovered) for the images I intended to use. The exposure on the leaf was to be done by sandwiching the leaf and the positive in glass then leaving the sun to do the rest. Fundamentally my process hasn’t changed.

Also laid film strips directly onto the leaves. Worked well.

I used transparencies to print the positive on. These first transparency positives were to light so there was little tonal range or detail. Required more density. the quality of the positive that determines a lot of your success.

If there is to much area of darkness or lightness then the details in these areas are lost. Days that were very sunny were not so good for photographing, as the darks and lights were to dominant, instead cloudy days when the light is soft and the tones more even were the best days to photograph. I looked for simple images, with strong features such as shapes, shadows, man-made materials, imprinted objects and reflections, as the subtleties of fine details were often lost.

I decided to go with printing on transparency, but this time using two layers, so the image was printed twice and sandwiched together.

As an extension of this idea of manufactured nature I wanted to show the ways in which we confine and constrict natural elements so that it is neater and tidier and more convenient than it might otherwise be. A fence holds back plants that might otherwise fall across the footpath and inhibit our freedom of movement.

There seems to be a division between nature and culture in western civilisation, as Chris Drury explains “Nature is an idea created by culture, and nature is an idea embedded in language. It’s very term presupposes that we are outside of it and therefore is anthropocentric”. I wanted to show the absurdness of how we treat the environment.

I also use the chlorophyll or pigment extracted from plants to make an emulsion.

Usually in science when they extract Chlorophyll for analysis they use some form of alcohol in the extraction. I tried this method but I then also tried doing it without as I was wanting to reduce the need for man-made chemicals and found that this made little difference to the quality of image I could make.

I found that Silverbeet, Swiss chard, worked very well because of the dark green of the leaves. The lighter the colour of the leaves often the lighter the colour of your emulsion so you are then limited by the tonal range that is possible.

Presented her leaf prints in little white boxes. The viewer had to open them up.

tried using UV protection glass but still after a week the images faded. So the most simple form of protection is a physical screen between image and the sun. Light has provided the tools to create these images yet it is this same element that will destroy them. Light dictates life.

Diarigi #1: Liam Gallagher of Oasis

Konser Liam Gallagher tanggal 14 Januari kemarin adalah pengalaman pertama menonton gigs dari musisi internasional. Sebagai hamba dari rock and roll, tentu saya tak melewatkan kesempatan ketika ditawari menonton konser salah satu penggawa Oasis ini.

Hujan tak membuat ribuan calon penonton gentar saat menukarkan tiket, mereka tabah mengantri walaupun baju band kesayangan yang dikenakan harus basah kuyup. Berbanding terbalik dengan baju yang basah, berkat hujan semalam banyak pedagang yang menjajakan payung dan jas hujan menjadi laku keras, mungkin memang betul bahwa rezeki sudah ada yang mengatur, atau barangkali pawang hujan bayaran mereka bekerja sampai lupa tidur.

Karena ini merupakan pengalaman pertama, banyak sekali hal lucu bagi saya, hal teraneh adalah seorang ibu yang membawa sekantong plastik berisi bungukusan rokok. Saya pikir ibu ini adalah seorang penjual rokok yang berkeliling menawarkan dagangannya, ternyata ibu ini malah membeli rokok dari calon penonton yang sedang mengantri, karena dia tahu ada aturan tidak boleh membawa rokok dari luar ke dalam area konser. Sungguh situasi telah menempa ibu ini menjadi tangguh dan cerdas.

Keunikan lain dari konser ini adalah terbaginya berbagai kelompok di antara penonton, setidaknya ada dua macam dari mereka. Pertama, kelompok garis keras. Kelompok garis keras adalah mereka yang memang senang betul dengan sosok Liam Gallagher, begitu pula dengan karya-karyanya. Penonton kategori ini hafal semua lagu yang dinyanyikan Liam, dan turut bernyanyi sepanjang pertunjukan. Adapun, yang kedua adalah kelompok nostalgia. Di sinilah letak keunikannya, karena Liam adalah personil dari sebuah band legenda dari Manchester, Oasis, maka terbentuk lah kelompok penonton yang kedua ini. Kelompok kedua ini datang tanpa mengenali satu pun lagu Liam (atau mungkin mereka tahu satu/dua lagu yang mereka dengarkan). Bagi kelompok nostalgia mungkin harapan mereka tidak tertuntaskan, pasalnya walaupun membawa embel embel “of Oasis” sebagai tajuk konsernya, tapi ternyata hal itu hanya berfungsi untuk mendongkrak nama Liam Gallagher. Karena kenyataannya hanya sedikit sekali lagu Oasis yang dibawakan Liam, dan ia lebih berkonsentrasi untuk memperkenalkan album solo miliknya “As You Were” pada turnya kali ini.

Selama satu setengah jam, Liam dan bandnya menghentak Ecovention Hall, Ancol. Setiap lagu yang dibawakan diawali dengan dengungan gitar seperti yang ada dalam intro lagu “Stand by Me” milik Oasis. Setelah sekitar 11 lagu, dengungan berhenti, gitar elektrik diganti menjadi gitar akustik, pertanda Liam akan membawakan lagu pamungkas untuk menutup malam hari itu. Lagu encore yang dipilih adalah Wonderwall, karya ikonik milik Oasis yang sampai saat ini masih bertengger di chart nomer satu di antara lagu-lagu oasis lainnya dalam versi Spotify.

Mengakhiri konsernya dengan Wonderwall, dan menyertakan nama Oasis dalam tajuk konser, dapat kita artikan dalam semiotika bahwa Liam pada akhirnya mengakui hasil kerja kolektif akan tetap jauh lebih hebat dibandingkan dengan hasil kerja individual. Terbukti, nama Oasis masih lebih besar ketimbang nama siapapun yang pernah terlibat di dalamnya.
