Writing with Taonga Pūoro: Decolonization of Creative Practice

Writing with Taonga Pūoro: Decolonization of Creative Practice

Kōauau by Mastercarver Brian Flintoff This year I am undertaking postgraduate research at ARA in Ōtautahi. My subject is the ‘Tikanga of songwriting with Mātauranga Māori’. I am in my final two months of research. Below is the first draft of the creative work for the research. I am about to embark on the second draft. However, I wanted to share this because I like its simplicity; the next draft…

@grinlinggibbons300 Centuries in the Making opened @compton_verney on Saturday, and we wanted to give you a little taste of the exhibition experience. On your way through the park to and from the gallery you'll cross the Upper Bridge (built 1770), guarded by four sphinxes. After entering the exhibition, begin by journeying with Gibbons along a timeline of his life and turbulent times and then turn the corner into the galleries, where you can feast your eyes on: 1. The incredible Kirtlington Panel, abundant with fish and fowl 2. Carved limewood drop with one of Gibbons' iconic lobsters 3. The sinuous head of a life-size horse carved for the Line of Kings in the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London 4. Two films made for the exhibition by Vikki Jenner; the screen here (on the wall behind the horse) shows the production of detailed 3D scans of Gibbons' Crucifixion, at Dunham Massey. 5. Carved picture surround (on loan from Abingdon Town Hall Museum), its mirror reflecting a view of the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge 6. 'The Genteel Companion; being exact Directions for the Recorder: with a Collection of the Best and Newest Tunes ...' (on loan from the British Library) 7. Phoebe Cummings' captivating and profuse hanging sculpture, Surround/Drop, created in unfired clay And so much more than we can show you here on Instagram! We hope this has whet your appetite and delighted your palate. To see Centuries in the Making in person, please book your tickets from the link in our bio. #comptonverney #grinlinggibbons #GG300 #phoebecummings #lineofkings #exhibition #artexhibition #whatson #sphinx #contemporarysculpture #recorder #baroqueart #baroquemusic #woodcarving #mastercarver #baroquearchitecture #lobster #horse #horsestatue #amazingart #beautifulsculpture #trompeloeil #realistic #illusion https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaZOv-r2IH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Studying with master woodblock carver, Soichi Kitamura Sensei. He’s extraordinary❣️ maybe in 100 years I could come close. Feeling grateful to learn from him. He’s not only extremely talented, he’s also a very good teacher. #mokuhanga #carvingwoodblocks #SoichiKitamura #mastercarver #japanlife #happyhappy #kyoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqYwqEljzj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mkagre7y47ts

This Dancing Lord Ganesha Nritya-Ganapati wooden sculpture was hand carved by a master carver in Nepal, and he looks quite ready to celebrate it being Saturday! Nritya Ganapati is a happy and a kind-hearted form of the elephant-head, pot-bellied Hindu God. This dancing form of Lord Ganesha depicts him as the connoisseur of performing arts. Hence, devotees and fine arts performers believe that worshipping and honoring Him will bestow them with the Lord’s blessings. Would you like to learn even more about this fascinating piece?

Forgot to share these here- I've been woodburning some this past week. The old-ass woodburner I found has a hole in the side I covered up with masking tape and the tip is bent off to one side but I'm sure it's still safe to use, right? 😆

I have a nice woodburner from MasterCarver that was gifted to me almost two years ago, but is was missing the cord connecting the pen to the control box. My partner was able to buy a replacement for me just recently, so I'm getting practice in with the old one while anxiously awaiting it's arrival.

I'd really like to take commissions for burned works when the new one gets here, message me if interested!
