Nailed it! Glen Barkley's polychrome glaze harmo

Nailed it! Glen Barkley's polychrome glaze harmonies sing to bitter sweet soundtracks of country music and jazz guitar (dreamingjustcomesnatural Covid pots for John Prine and Bucky Pizeralli) Rhythms of perforated lines and dots of lacy texture like elegeic pianola roles, button down with coloured melodies. Barcley's lyrical mastery of colour faces the darkness in the human tragedy of Covid, conjuring the truth of poetry in the "Urn of Bitter Prophecy"@glenbarkley #polychromeglazeharmonies #contemporaryceramics #urnofbitterprophecy @australianceramics #polychromeglazes @sullivanstrumpf

some table settings by Lex Dickson. (1951-2008) bear witness at a celebratory Mother's Day lunch hosted by my sister-in-law law for her mother, the Matriarch, my beautiful 92 year old mother in law. All of her four children were there and I thank them for remembering the lovely, convivial company of my own mother. She is alive and well in so many memories and ordinary actions of our everyday lives. #conviviality #lexdickson #lexdicksonpottery #handmadetableware #studiopottery #japaneseinfluence #chunglaze #celadonglaze #tenmokuglaze #mymothersoot #australianceramics #domesticware #contemporaryceramics @australianceramics

"CHRYSANTHEMUM STONE"

This extremely rare and valuable stone was a gift to the Cultural Centre by Mr Juro Kaneko. Estimated to be at least 70 million years old, it is of volcanic origin and was mined in the Gifu Prefecture in 1977. Natural crystals in the near perfect forms of chrysanthemum flowers are

embedded in the stone.

The table is also part of the gift and is a magnificent example of Japanese craftsmanship @cowrajapanesegarden #cowrajapanesegarden #roadtrip #chrysathemumfossil #chrysanthemum #chrysanthemumstone #mothersday2021

Trevor Kennedy collection @nationalmuseumofaustralia #ngunnawalcouny l"George Day began working at Mashman Brothers Pottery in Sydney at the age of 12. He trained at the Sydney Technical College, studying art and ceramic modelling and by the 1920s, was head potter. Day's jardinières are his most admired pieces. This one was a commission, made for and incised: 'G Kurtz Mudgee, 30th November 1929'. The design abounds in Australian motifs, incorporating imprinted gum leaves, sprays of modelled gum leaves and three-dimensional figures of a possum and a koala.

Grace Seccombe, tiny Taronga Park Zoo souvenirs and other small sculptures of Australian birds and animals from the Trevor Kennedy collection. Terrific label by @nationalmuseumofaustralia "Grace Seccombe was born in the Potteries region in Staffordshire, England, where her father ran a successful pottery. She arrived in Australia with her family in about 1902 and studied drawing at Sydney Technical College. While visiting England in 1926, Seccombe was inspired by a display of ceramic birds at the Stoke-on-Trent railway station. On returning to Sydney, she set up a studio and kiln at her home. Seccombe's signature items were her modelled pieces, especially her birds. Her figures of native birds and animals, sold by Prouds the Jewellers, were extremely popular with tourists. #graceseccombe #knowmorenames #australianceramicsculpture @australianceramics #australianbirdsculpture #polychromefigurines #nationalartschoolsydney

The Trevor Kennedy collection, recently donated to the @nationalmuseumofaustralia. An absorbing encounter with an impeccably installed selection. Great labels too. "The manufacturers of both Wembley Ware and Darbyshire capitalised on a postwar shortage of imported decorative items. As functional items were eligible for a lower sales tax rate, the companies focused on vases, shaving mugs, bookends, kitchenware and the ubiquitous ashtray. Trevor Kennedy, in a nod to his home state, is one of Australia's most avid collectors. His donation includes about 300 pieces of Wembley Ware and more than 150 Darbyshire items." #ceramicaustralianbirds #slipcastbirds

After the Madrigal, the score echoes in that marvelous vaulted space. A polyphonic recitation for three spoken voices (walking in measured circles), sung soprano from above - was it Purcell? Hildegarde von Bingen? Improvised? The script hovers above its overlapping shadows. Superb performance by @barbaracampbell321 @clareg2007 @arthurgoatsnake @nationalgalleryaus Looking forward to the video documentation of this deeply moving work. One can listen to a revelatory conversation between Barbara Campbell, REA and Narelle Jubelin on the NGA website #knowmyname #casketletters #performedobject #contemporaryart #performanceart @knowmyname #textart #ebroideredtext #subversivestitch

Remembrance: the Armenian Orphan Rug. Posted @wi

Remembrance: the Armenian Orphan Rug. Posted @withregram • @swana.ancestral Lighting 🕯 candles 🕯 today in remembrance of the Armenian genocide, as well as the Assyrian, Alevi, Anatolian Greek, Yezidi genocides that were enacted concurrently by the Ottoman Empire. Holding dearly the stories that could not / will not be erased. Stories that are woven into the very fabric of each descendent of those who survived. We remember.

We thank our Armenian kin, @armenian_women_artists, for this story they shared in remembrance today:

“For the past two years on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we’ve shared the history behind the famous Armenian Orphan Rug, also known as the Ghazir Orphans' Rug, an Armenian-styled carpet woven by orphaned girls of the Armenian Genocide in Ghazir, Syria (present-day Lebanon). Under the care and hospice of the Near East Relief, the girls were trained by Armenian master weaver Hovhannes Tashjian, who trained more than 1,400 girls in the art of weaving, dyeing and patterning.

The carpet is said to have been made by 400 orphans over a period of eighteen months. It was eventually shipped to the United States in 1925, where it was given to President Calvin Coolidge as a token of appreciation for American humanitarian aid to the Armenians. It was returned by the Coolidge family to the White House in 1982. The rug depicts a Biblical Garden of Eden featuring animals and symbols and measuring 12 feet by 18 feet with 4 million knots.

“The Armenian Orphan Rug not only symbolizes the terror and the struggle of the Armenian people but also their fighting spirit.” Congressman Jim Costa, 2014.

Thanks to @lianaagh and her article “The Armenian Rugs That Tell Two Stories,” for the @bbc, April 22, 2015.

Earth Day and prescient words from Ronni Kahn abou

Earth Day and prescient words from Ronni Kahn about food waste. Posted @withregram • @ronni.kahn Today is Earth Day - a global movement driving meaningful action for our planet. I am excited to see what comes from President Biden’s virtual summit on the climate crisis with 40 world leaders, including our own Prime Minister. Food waste is a huge contributor to climate change, responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gases, but is often overlooked in the climate debate. We have a national target to halve food waste by 2030, it’s a big job and change is required at all levels of society, but reducing food waste is something that everyone can do.

I would love to see Australia leading the way on this issue, starting with integrating food loss and waste into our climate strategy and national contributions to the Paris Agreement.

Every day is Earth Day.
