Art Weekend - Ophelia by John Everett Millais
Although the image of Ophelia singing unaware of herself being in danger before drowning in the river is an iconic image, it exists only in another character's description and is not shown in the play Hamlet itself. John Everett Millais's depiction of this scene was not originally well recieved but it's accurate depiction of landscape and vivid attention to detail made it an inspiration to other artists. Ophelia is now considered one of the most famous pieces of the nineteenth century.

Art Weekend - The Dilemma of Being Human by Glen Martin Taylor
Inspired by the art of kintsugi, Glen Martin Taylor repairs ceramic objects with everyday objects, ranging from twine to metals. The act of breaking and repairing is a form of self-therapy and reflects the way the human soul heals. The goal is not to repair to seem unbroken but to change the object fundamentally and metaphorically heal.
