The Spring Collection continues with jewelry pieces in the newest Spring colours. And two of the newest colours for Spring in one of my favorite bracelets are the two colours mixed in the citrine bracelet above. The yellow is called Aurora (this citrine is perfect) and the other colour represented by Botswana agate and specially chosen rondelles of ocean jasper is a grey called eucalyptus. I love this combination because it reminds me of one of my favorite dresses of all time; I was in the ninth grade and it was a pretty grey wool a-line dress with a yellow organdy yoke with a tiny ruffle. I know, it sounds awful, but I felt gorgeous in it (quite a feat when you're in the ninth grade) and I have never forgotten how very chic those two colours were together. I would wear that dress now if I had it (in the right size, of course)!

Below are two bracelets featuring the colour of the year - Turquoise - mixed with another spring colour - red. The gemstones are turquoise and carnelian, a very red carnelian, I might add. Carnelian comes in many different shades and if you look lower you'll see a carnelian and turquoise bracelet where the carnelian is quite orange!


Two more colours that are in for Spring: a pretty deep blue and a warm beige known as Tuscany. Both are represented here by chalcedony and porcelain jasper, respectively. Little charms highlight the flower them and a lampwork bead ties the colours together. This unique bracelet looks much prettier in person.

Below, another colour for Spring 2010, champagne pink, a pretty delicate colour that will look good with many colours other than pink. The bracelet is made from champagne pink agate; many pieces are in carved shapes.

Above, the tomato red mixed with a hint of another new Spring colour: violet. This lampwork bracelet boasts some of the nicest artists' lampwork I have, and is embedded with little dots of gold. I've mixed them with goldfilled chains, charms, and accents for a bracelet that is really spectacular. The chains are varied, and some go only partially loop around the bracelet. Swarovski crystals add the finishing touch and make this bracelet truly outstanding.

Walkabout,Gallery in Burlington
by John Andrew Cipriano


Having just recently moved to Vermont from New York City, where I spent much of my time working in the art world from museums to Chelsea galleries, I must admit I was uncertain I’d ever be in a crowded art gallery on a Saturday night surrounded by people sipping on white wine intelligently discussing the artwork in front of them. I wasn’t even certain that Burlington had any significant art galleries or people who truly appreciated them.


Well, I was proven wrong after my experience at the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery located at 266 Pine Street, just seconds from downtown Burlington. Once the home of Dorn’s Venetian Ginger Ale, the so-aptly named Soda Plant has had a history reaching back nearly a century. Once simply an empty soda warehouse, converting the space into an artist collective environment was the brainchild of Christy Mitchell, a Vermont native for the past 5 1/2 years. Before the move to Vermont, Christy lived in Savannah, Georgia, where she attended The Savannah College of Art and Design studying Metals & Jewelry. One day back in April 2009, after staring into the recently abandoned warehouse, Christy dreamed up the gallery and studio collective that is now the S.P.A.C.E. and it has grown in popularity and success ever since.


That Saturday’s festivities included the Release Party of est & burly bird, a set of literary and visual art zines, and the closing of the immensely successful Small Works show which originally opened On December 4, 2009. The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery’s next show, Love in 2010, presents a select group of artists’ perspectives on love in honor of St. Valentines Day.


Christy is not simply satisfied with the occasional exhibition or party, however, and has great plans for the Gallery in 2010, so stay tuned for more amazing exhibits and wholly creative performance pieces. Most every studio space has been rented by an amazingly talented group of young artists and the gallery/exhibition spaces are to be expanded in 2010.


By the end of the evening, I forgot I was hundreds of miles from New York and I think I’ve found a new home in the ever-changing S.P.A.C.E. Gallery.

Since 1969, Sabra Field’s passion for the Vermont landscape has led her to a rich exploration of printmaking in her studio in East Barnard. She is one of the most compelling contemporary printmakers presently working in the medium here in Vermont, and her exhibit, Cosmic Geometry and Other Recent Prints, is at the Chaffee Art Center from February 12-March 21, 2010.


After completing a degree from Middlebury College and earning an M.A.T. from Wesleyan University she was awarded an honorary P.H.D. from Middlebury College, where a permanent collection of her work is housed. Field teaches printmaking workshops in Tuscany and shares the work with the Vermont community. Her subject matter evokes muses of Italian and Greek art history but is steadfastly grounded in a certain sense of place here in Vermont. Field’s strong connection to the Vermont landscape allows her to express the subtle beauty of the state. Her bold graphic elements create an allegory of pastoral moments with an economy of mark and accuracy of gesture Her style is distinctively her own. In an era where digital mediums are taking over many art practices, Sabra’s careful meditation with printmaking materials continues the thoughtful tradition of block printmaking with a deep reverence for the Vermont landscape.


review,Sabra Field at Chaffee Art Center in Rutland


Throughout the ages artists have had a tremendous impact on the political, social, and environmental constructs of the world we live in. Individual artists have dissolved political systems, created social dialogs, and have been a voice for the oppressed. Artists of many different practices have fostered messages of peace and prompted social change. Singular minds and gestures have been a voice for human suffering in a world overwhelmed by environmental degradation, as well as political and social injustices. Artists find themselves often wondering how they can inspire change and social awareness through their work.


In that same vein Sabra Field’s Pandora Suite series exercises the artist’s role as activist and continues a thread of thoughtful protest in her current work. She works in a long tradition of artists dealing with overcoming human suffering and war through visual art.


This current body of work reflects her own contemporary take on the Greek Myth of Pandora’s Jar. The piece entitled Suffering, included in this series, invokes the mother and dead child of Picasso’s famed Guernica mural. The work also alludes to Goya’s Horrors of War series, with echoes of Mary Cassatt’s tenderness, and Georgia O’Keeffe’s monumental flowers and landscapes.


review,Sabra Field at Chaffee Art Center in Rutland


This work reminds us how deeply suffering and war are ingrained in the human experience that we all share. Pandora Suite digs deep into our collective consciousness to engage the viewer with the difficult issues of warfare, inequality, and suffering. Eventually themes in this series are overcome by compassion, culture, love, hope, and wisdom and leave the viewers to draw their own associations with the contents of Pandora’s Jar. This is a very powerful series, with large expressionistic figures whose earth-toned palette suggests they mayhave been carefully carved and rendered from Pandora’s Jar itself. The work is as bold as it is charged with a compassionate sensibility.


review,Sabra Field at Chaffee Art Center in RutlandAlso in the show is a series titled Cosmic Geometry, interconnected moments, subtly suggesting Fibonacci’s golden ratio and forms in nature as well as architecture. This work is an interesting departure from her depictions of the Vermont landscape, expressing an interest in relationships and similarities through patterns and symbolism and offering up some interesting juxtapositions. This body of work certainly connects the microcosmic world with the macrocosmic. Sabra Field’s work at the Chaffee ranges from moments of quiet contemplation of the Vermont landscape, to patterns and similarities in natural and man-made systems, leading to Pandora’s Jar brimming with human experiences of war and love we all share.


I asked Sabra Field some questions about her artwork and her thoughts about artmaking in Vermont.




P.W. Who are the printmakers that most inspire you?


S.F. Leonard Baskin and Carol Summers


P.W. What effect do you feel individual artists have on fostering and transmitting messages of peace in the world?


S.F. Only a few greats like Picasso and Goya rise above the level of amateur propaganda to depict human tragedy. The rest of us try to make images, which will separate ourselves from violence and identify ourselves with the good guys... failing to understand that both are part of human nature.


P.W. In a time when younger artists are making a mass exodus to larger cities in hopes of better opportunities and jobs, what advice do you have for younger artists who have chosen to stay here in Vermont and are struggling with a state with very little opportunity for artists and craftspeople?


S.F. Truthfully, I wasn't aware of this "mass exodus". I would say it's always been a struggle. One must make one's own opportunities as well as take advantage of what exists. For instance, when I arrived I began doing craft fairs. I also made friends with another artist and together we put on exhibits to benefit non-profits.


The advent of the internet kind of negates the necessity of being one place or another, doesn't it?




The show is on view at Chaffee Art Center from February 12-March 21, 2010

The base of the acknowledged theories apropos to the captivation of Jamaican acreage in England is the feudal arrangement and accordingly in adjustment to accept the avant-garde law of absolute Jamaica acreage it will be all-important to accede anon the capacity of feudal acreage holding.

Outline Of Jamaica Absolute Estate Doctrines

Under the feudal system, as continued and adapted by William the Conqueror, all acreage in the country belongs to the King. William advised that all the acreage in England belonged to him by appropriate of conquest, but he broadcast genitalia of the acreage to his nobles in acknowledgment for their casework to him. The acreage was not, however, accustomed to these nobles outright. It should be remembered that at the time of the Norman Acquisition money was little acclimated and acreage and the aftermath of acreage were the sole agency of abundance as able-bodied as the sole break of it.

If a affluent man capital annihilation done, at any amount if it was annihilation of a alternate nature, the easiest way of accepting it done was to accord out a allotment of acreage to some being who would undertake to accomplish the account for him throughout the year. So back the King himself broadcast acreage amid the nobles he extracted from them a affiance to accomplish assertive casework in acknowledgment and the achievement of these casework was the action aloft which the nobles captivated their land.

Examples of the affectionate of casework which ability be promised are the accouterment of, say, two hundred men-at-arms for the King's army for forty canicule in the year or account as the Royal Standard-bearer or Steward.

The address in which these assorted bodies captivated their acreage was alleged 'tenure" from the Latin teneo, "I hold". The being captivation the acreage was alleged the addressee and the being from whom he captivated it and to whom he owed the casework in acknowledgment was alleged the lord. It was not alone the King who could admission acreage to a addressee to be captivated in acknowledgment for services.

Each of the tenants themselves had a domiciliary to attending afterwards and appropriate casework to be performed. In aftereffect they, too, apportioned out the acreage they accustomed from the King to added bottom beings in acknowledgment for the requisite services. These bottom beings afresh ability accord out pieces of the acreage to others in acknowledgment for the casework which they themselves required, and so on. This action was accepted as subinfeudation and apparently there was no absolute to the admeasurement to which it ability be stretched. Subinfeudation was chock-full in 1920 by the Statue "Quia Emptores".

Alienation

It is such a commonplace affair today to alteration acreage from one being to another, a action accepted in law as alienation, that it is conceivably adamantine to apprehend that there was a time back it was absurd to do so. There are two audible means of appointment land; it may be done during the lifetime of the tenant, alteration inter vivos ("between active people") as it is alleged or it may appear on his death, either because he leaves a will giving it to addition else, or, if he dies afterwards authoritative a will ("intestate") afresh it will canyon to the being advantaged on an intestacy according to the aphorism administering such matters.

Originally, however, it was absurd for a feudal addressee to alteration his acreage to anyone abroad either during his lifetime or on his death, except by the action apperceive as subinfeudation already mentioned. The acreage a addressee captivated was apprenticed to abide his and to canyon on his afterlife to the abutting tenant, his heir, and annihilation could be done to adapt the position. This negated the attempts at affairs Jamaican land.

Let us accede the action of subinfeudation afresh and an archetype of the way it worked:

Suppose A captivated the estate of Blackacre from his Aristocrat X in acknowledgment for bartering X with ten men-at-arms for forty canicule in the year; A ability afresh admission a allotment of Blackacre to B in acknowledgment for which B had to accumulation A with four men-at-arms for forty canicule in the year. In this way A, who was a addressee of X, became added and added abroad from the being who was absolutely amenable for bearing the men-at-arms.

In aftereffect the Statute accepted as "Quia Emptores" was anesthetized in 1290. It forbade the breach of acreage by subinfeudation, but acceptable breach by addition adjustment as acclimated today, accepted as substitution.

Under this adjustment if A, in the archetype above, capital to alienate to B, the alone way in which he could do it was by putting B in his place, so that B would now accept to accommodate X with all the ten men-at-arms and A would bead out of the account altogether. The Statue Quia Emptores may be admired as one of the bend stones of our adjustment of appointment acreage today.

After 1290 it became accessible to alteration acreage by substitution, but this was alone accessible inter vivos; it was still accurately absurd to alteration acreage by Will, admitting able means were apparent by which about the aforementioned aftereffect could be obtained. This was done by appointment the acreage to a acquaintance to authority as a trustee and canyon it afterwards the tenant's afterlife to the bodies whom he called to the trustee. This assurance was not, about accustomed as accurately accurate and binding. It was not until the Statue of Wills that acreage could be accurately transferred by Will.

The action of purchasing acreage for auction in Jamaica has afflicted badly back afresh and the action has become simplified.

Press release,Annual Atwood , Annual Atwood Artists Group Exhibit at Vermont Arts Exchange
The Healing Arts: New Pathways to Health, in conjunction with Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE) and United Counseling Service of Bennington County (UCS), presents “The Atwood Artists Group Annual Show,” opening with a reception in VAE’s Mill Gallery, in the Sage Street Mill, on Thursday, March 4, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. This exhibit, presented in partnership with United Counseling Service of Bennington County (UCS), will be on view in the Mill Gallery through this summer.


The Atwood Artists are a group of about 12 adults who work weekly in VAE’s art studios through UCS’s day service program. Working alongside artist Lorraine Mears and UCS staff, these participants have focused on group and individual artworks for two to three years in VAE’s studios — in doing so, these untrained artists have found their own individual style and manner of working that best suits their creative expression. Since 2006, with support from The Healing Arts: New Pathways To Health program, VAE has been able to provide an innovative, high quality accessible arts and healing partnership program, that builds on 18 years of working with UCS and other social service agencies and schools in the community.

They not only are producing, but several are expanding on their work and exploring different styles and mediums. For some of these artists who have been working in the studio for several years, they’ve established a particular trust and comfort level with their work, which results in incredible pieces.”


Robert Pini, UCS’s community relations director, adds, “For people with developmental disabilities, communication difficulties can be especially frustrating. For them, making art helps satisfy the desire to communicate and share ideas. Creating art is always a wonderful, affirming, confidence-building form of expression — especially so for people whose other channels of communication and expression are not easy.”

After 55 inches of snow this year, a new record here in Washington, D.C./Arlington since 1899, it feels strange to think that it is almost March and that, despite the mounds of snow everywhere (there are still some large 5 -6 feet tall mounds) Spring is just around the corner!
Spring means new jewelry - LOTS of new jewelry! And the Spring colours this year are wonderful, or at least I think so, probably because one of the biggest colours for Spring is my favorite - turquoise. Whether it's called deep aqua, lagoon, or any other romantic name, turquoise is a wonderful colour that looks good on almost everyone; it is truly universally becoming. And if you are practicing a certain austerity lately, then a pop of turquoise, in a scarf, in jewelry (such as the apatite bracelet that you see above or the amazonite bracelet below) provides a touch of fashion that will enliven your spirit as well as your outfit.

The aquamarine earrings are a classic clear aquamarine nugget and gold mix while those mixed with sterling have an edgier look featuring chain that is so in right now.


I am so very fond of rock crystal, or clear quartz crystal as it is also known, that when I get some in, I can hardly wait to work with it. The necklace below is chock full of rock crystal smooth briolettes with sterling silver chain meandering around them as well as small freshwater pearls in a pretty grey colour. On one side, dark grey coin pearls hang below the crystals. Three different chains dangle sterling charms in a heart and key motif.

I fell in love with the faceted rock crystal in the quartz necklace (two views, above and below) that sparkles and glistens in sunlight and candlelight! The one spot of colour is a large faceted rectangle of rose quartz in a pretty deep pink.
Pretty in pink perfectly describes the bracelets below, both featuring rose quartz in a luscious pink, top bracelet, and a paler rose colour, (second bracelet).
And if Spring looms ahead, then Summer is just around the corner, so the two ankle bracelets here are just waiting for bare ankles. The first one is full of precious gemstones: emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, while the one underneath features amethysts.
