Vesica: using Neolithic British ritual art and architecture as a model for making contemporary art
Get PDFMerged with duplicate record 10026.1/646 on 08.03.2017 by CS (TIS)Can the creative practices of British Neolithic art and architecture be used in the making
of contemporary art? This dissertation describes my practice making works of art based
on the Neolithic model, presented in a gallery setting and occasionally in the landscape.
The creative process is grounded on research into prehistoric British art and ritual
architecture and records my process of understanding the work of ancient Britons as a
framework for the concurrent process of making new objects for display. Without
extensive research and direct experience of the Neolithic art and architecture I would
not have been able to create the responsive work that has grown from it. I visited
dozens of sites in England, Scotland, and Ireland, immersing myself as much as
possible within them, on them and around them; I breathed the damp air and sheltered
from the rain under their roofs; I ate in them, I touched, measured and aligned them. I
visited them in daylight and at night; summer and winter; on solstices and ordinary days;
sometimes by car but mostly on foot. I read copious texts by academic archaeologists
in my effort to get into the minds of the people who made these places and got to know
the archaeological scene well enough to deliver a paper at the Theoretical Archaeology
Group Conference in 2005, taking questions from distinguished Professors Julian
Thomas and Mike Parker Pearson.
My research included the types of space that remain and explores patterns that exist
within the structures, interpreting, based on the archaeology, how the places Neolithic
people made might have been used in ritual; in addition it includes an exploration of the
decoration and phenomena of the spaces. The process of understanding the Neolithic
shaped and transformed my creative practice and profoundly affected my practice of
making art and introducing a shamanic theme into the way I share it. The work I make is
therefore a response to the ancient practices of the men and women, a collection of
objects that a Neolithic artist might make today.
Finally the thesis is concerned with identifying three strategies used by contemporary
artists; Reconstructing, "Artefacting", and Responding to Neolithic spaces, then
documents how these three strategies are used as models in the creation of the
practical work that corresponds with the written work. Issues of presentation are
explored at some length, born of the dilemmas I experienced when making decisions of
where and how to show people what I had made.Dartington College of Art
Trifling With Holy Time: Women and the Formation of the Calvinist Church of Worcester, Massachusetts, 1815-1820
Get PDFThe Calvinist Church of Worcester, Massachusetts, grew out of the frustration of three wealthy women who had been excluded in 1816 from the process of selecting a new minister, Charles A. Goodrich, for the First Congregational Church. Elizabeth Salisbury and Rebecca and Sarah Waldo found Goodrich insufficiently masculine and wondered about his orthodoxy. They rejected the decision of the church\u27s deacons and minister to block their transfer to another congregation. In 1820, they won a reversal of this decision and founded the new church. The women had not explicitly challenged the subordination of women, but their actions amounted to this. Although the charter of the new church gave the three women veto power over the selection of future ministers, it did not give women a formal voice in the selection of ministers. Nevertheless, women voted in each selection prior to the Civil War
