Rowland and Chinami Ricketts use natural materials and traditional processes to create contemporary textiles. Chinami hand-weaves narrow width yardage for kimono and obi. Rowland hand-dyes textiles that span art and design. Together we grow all the indigo that colours our cloth, investing ourselves and our time in our textiles because we believe this way of working to be an essential part of the material’s integrity and authenticity.

Son of Frankenstein is Jeff’s pick. It’s always been one of his favorites, but even more so since the release of the Mel Brooks film, Young Frankenstein (1974). He also loves the expressionism and the humor evident in this entry to the Frankenstein canon and has a special fondness for Bela Lugosi’s performance, which to his mind steals the film from Boris Karloff’s monster. He’s also a little embarrassed that he didn’t mention Ward Bond or Harry Cording, two of his favorite character actors, in their bit parts as gendarmes.

Daphne absolutely loves Son of Frankenstein and vows to watch it more often, along with Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). She describes it as being so much fun, giving her an even greater appreciation of the Mel Brooks film. Whitney also chimes in with her appreciation for what was done with this film in Young Frankenstein. For her, Son of Frankenstein is a top-notch, fun film to watch with a classic look that has been inspirational to so many people. Chad saw Son of Frankenstein as a youngster and immediately wanted a wooden arm. He describes it as a good successor to the first two Universal Frankenstein films that has always been a favorite of his with its winning mix of monster mayhem and humor. And, of course, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein is the best name for a Frankenstein ever. On the other hand, he can’t get behind the monster’s sheep’s wool vest.

You know you need to watch this again… and again and again! As of this writing, Son of Frankenstein is available to stream from various PPV sources and on physical media as a Blu-ray disc included in a multitude of Universal Horror collections.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule is one chosen by Daphne: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), starring Fredric March!

Bottom image - This series of Indigo dyed felted stone was created by Rowland Ricketts inspired by his years as an apprentice to the indigo workers in Japan.

The top two images are from the series The Possible by Tessa Watson 

The colour indigo comes from a range of plants, the best known being Indigofera Tinctoria (True Indigo) which has been used to dye textiles in India from before 2000BC.  The earliest evidence of the plant being grown comes from 4000BC in Peru and there are records of indigo cultivation in Japan from the 6th Century.  Brought via the Silk road from India, it was first used to dye the clothes and possessions of the aristocracy and samurai.   The name Indigo literally means “from India”. Indigo is less of a painting pigment and more of a dye.  While Indigo has its roots in India, the African slave trade made it a very valuable commodity on that continent - in fact it was more valuable than a gun and was literally used as currency - one length of cloth was worth one person.   The slaves carried the knowledge of Indigo production with them to America where in the 1700′s the profit from Indigo was more than that of sugar and cotton.....at the time of the American Revolution, the dollar had no strength and Indigo cakes were used as currency.  

The reason we have Indigo as a separate colour in the rainbow (because it is just a shade of blue), is that Isaac Newton thought there should be 7 colours just as there are 7 days in the week, 7 notes in the musical scales and (at the time) 7 known planets.  So he pushed to have Indigo and Orange included in the colours of the rainbow.

Local Colour

Presented by UNSW Galleries, Local Colour: experiments in nature features artists and designers with an interest in sustainable practices, local ecologies and an appreciation for the world’s natural resources.

Participants in this project have a common interest in experimenting with locally sourced plant materials to extract unique colour for artworks created from naturally coloured materials. The exhibition highlights the resurgent international shift towards natural dyes, the increased interest in ‘slow textiles’, the handmade and holistic practice of textile making.

Social, cultural and political issues ranging from climate change, land use, individual and environmental wellbeing are expressed in works coloured by plant dyes and pigments. The dye process requires diverse expertise ranging from growing, identifying, harvesting, collecting, processing, tending and caring for plants. By steeping, printing, dyeing and painting, locally grown or collected plants, barks, leaves, minerals, mud, sands, weeds and waste are used as a source of colour for cloth, fibre, pandanus or paper. Presenting contemporary work by Australian and international artists, designers and social enterprise groups, Local Colour illustrates the vitality, diversity, breadth and beauty of this practice that’s now enjoying a renaissance across the world.
