Plant breeder Peter Moore, who has been creating new plants for 40 years, tells HortWeek about his new breeding and his vast experience in the production of new plants.He started work at Hillier in 1960 with some legendary Hillier propagators.In 1997 he left Hillier's to become propagator at Longstock Park Nursery in Hampshire. He is still responsible for the National Collection of Buddleja held at the nursery and is also a member of the RHS hardy plant trial committee.Plant collectors like Sir Harold Hillier and Roy Lancaster were early inspirations, but it was Peter Dummer, the great Hillier propagator and plant breeder who was his biggest influence. He showed and monitored Moore in the skill of plant breeding so he made my first hybrid Pete Dummer came up with the name Aztec Pearl, possibly his greatest success. The first hybrid of the genus launched at Chelsea in 1989.He talks about how he has spent hundreds of hours plant breeding. All the stamens are carefully removed before pollinating and the flowers are covered with a pollinating bag. Nothing is left to chance.The most rewarding of the plants he has raised is Choisya White Dazzler, is available at most garden centres in the UK, listed in the RHS Plant Finder and sold in the EU.Moore discusses the state of British plant breeding, Brexit, peat, what Chelsea winners are still around, how he markets plants and the help JohnHedger, Neil Alcock, Charles Carr, Plantipp and Genesis have given for the 45 plants he has raised over the years.

In this weeks episode, artist Maria Gabler walks us through her solo exhibition titled 'TRAMA' at PROXYCO Gallery located in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The show runs through July 20th - go see it! María Gabler (b. 1989) earned her BFA from the Catholic University of Chile and MFA in Visual Arts from the University of Chile. Gabler has exhibited extensively in Chile, including the solo shows “La Ventana” (2022) at Galería Gabriela Mistral, “Anfibia” (2021) at MAM Chiloé, “La Galería” (2017) at Sala de Arte CCU, and “Mirador” (2015) at Galería Tajamar. She has also participated in several group exhibitions in spaces such as Matucana 100, Galería D21, Galería Macchina, Galería Local, and Museo de la Solidaridad, among others. Her work has been recognized with the Sustainable Pavilion Award from the National Council for Culture and the Arts of Chile at ChACO Fair 2011; FONDART 2015, 2017, and 2020; Third Place in 2015 and First Place in 2021 in the CCU Art Fellowship and the Ca.Sa Foundation/Collection Award 2021, among others.

PROXYCO presents the works of emerging and mid-career artists from Latin America. Through exhibitions with artists that we represent as well as collaborations with galleries from Latin America and beyond, we aim to advance the understanding of work by artists of Latin American descent in an international art context. For PROXYCO, the term “Latin American” is not an essentializing classifier, but rather a fluid framework to value and engage with art that is informed by both a distinct cultural heritage and an ever-widening global perspective. Located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, PROXYCO was founded by Alexandra Morris (b. Mexico City) and Laura Saenz (b. Bogota). Links: Maria Gabler PROXYCO Gallery

Michael E. Taylor: The Intersection of Science, Technology and Art

Talking Out Your Glass podcast

“To have even a brief conversation with artist Michael E. Taylor is to dive headfirst into a deep pool of scientific and intellectual inquiry. Taylor has always been an extremely analytical artist, responding with equal fervor to his intellectual encounters with scientific ideas, art history, philosophy, or current events. Whether inspired by formal quality of geometry, the Higgs boson particle, or the moral implications of artificial intelligence, Taylor's work is ultimately about investigation.” – Museum of Glass, Tacoma, solo show, Traversing Parallels, 2017/2018. Widely-renowned for his cut and laminated glass works, geometric constructions, and fractal abstractions inspired by everything from subatomic particles to music, Michael E. Taylor first used glass while attending a workshop at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. He was struck by the material's heat and spontaneity, a dynamic opposite from the deliberate and extended processes for firing and shaping ceramics. Dedicated to art and education for over 49 years, the artist was born in Lewisberg, Tennessee, in 1944, where he initially studied ceramics while working towards a Bachelor of Science in Art Education from Tennessee State University. Studying ceramics honed his intuitive sense of form, color, and design; skills which would later be important to his glass career. One of the first generation of artists to learn from the founders of the Studio Glass movement, Taylor experienced the early days of glass through interactions with Harvey Littleton, Fritz Dreisbach, and Marvin Lipofsky. As a young student, a Fulbright Hayes Grant to Scandinavia introduced him to the factories of Kosta-Boda Glasbruke and Johansfors Glasbruke, as well as artists of the region, including Anna Warff. Taylor's artistic career has been intertwined with decades as a university professor, including a more than 20-year tenure as a professor in the School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology, invited Professor at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia, Campus da Caprica, Portugal, 2005 – 2013, and instructor at schools in the US such as Pilchuck, Penland, and the Corning Museum of Glass. His career in academia made it possible to experiment and explore new ideas through his sculpture instead of feeling pressure to repeat popular works for monetary sales. The academic setting also allowed Taylor to continue to explore scientific, philosophical, and artistic ideas. While at the College of Idaho and teaching the history of modern art, Taylor's directive led to political and visual expressions of the Russian revolution and artists of constructivism. The hard lines and acute angles of constructivism of the 1920s continued to scientific theory and theoretical physics. Using glass with scientific exactness and austerity resulted in further architectural form and shapes of accuracy. Readings of future science and cultural futurism led to issues of DNA and binary systems as they related to laminations in his work. Taylor states: “Art reflects thought and ideals of the period in which it is made. It can relate to predictions for the future. My work speaks of the importance of science and technology and its eventual dominance through Artificial Intelligence.” Taylor's honors and awards are many and include the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Grant, 2009, 2011; Luso – American Foundation Grant, Portugal, 2002 -2007; Outstanding Visual Artist Award, Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester, New York, 2001; College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, Research and Development Grant, RIT, 2000; Grand Prize, The International Exhibition of Glass, Kanazawa, Japan, 1988; National Endowment for the Arts, Visual Artists Forums Grant, 1985-86 and Visual Artist Fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts, 1984-85. Other educational awards and opportunities include a Lewis Comfort Tiffany Grant, Penland School Scholarship, and The American – Scandinavian Foundation Grant. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia; the National Collection of American Art, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.; The Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington; Asheville Museum of Art, North Carolina; Racine Museum of Art, Racine, Wisconsin; Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Glas Museum Ebeltoft, Ebeltoft, Denmark; Kanazawa City Museum, Kanazawa, Japan; and Tokyo Glass Art Institute, Kawasaki-Shi, Japan, to name only a few. Inviting viewers to utilize scientific-like observations to analyze the implications of a rapidly changing world, Taylor's sculpture is both triumphant and cautionary, simultaneously celebrating technological breakthroughs and worrying about their implications. By using glass to make these theoretical connections, the artist inspires contemplation of social and scientific issues and continues to take the material of glass into new expressive terrain. States Taylor: “The race is on in all technological advanced countries for the discovery of human consciousness for AI. I predict it will be the last frontier of human intellect. I have constructed a laminated slab of color blocks which represent the codes for the human consciousness. I see it as a kind of Rosetta Stone of translation from one language to another – binary to English. The RS interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics to Greek language allowed us to make the intellectual and cultural jump. “I see Codes as containing the information for making the final leap from human consciousness to that of machines. This will be a discovery of epic proportions. This would be the beginning of a new world of solutions to puzzles such as eternal life, interplanetary travel, and the discovery of philosophic truth for each individual human.”

Becoming an Organic Flower Grower & Tulip Specialist | Polly Nicholson

#54 - Organic flower grower Polly Nicholson from Bayntun Flowers shares her small business journey. Passionate about tulips, she also grows narcissi, alliums, peonies, clematis, sweet peas, bearded irises, delphiniums, zinnias and dahlias. She supplies wholesale flowers to florists, runs workshops and is also in-house florist for residential properties locally. Growing up in the countryside, her parents grew very few flowers in their garden. So Polly used to go and pick wildflowers, and developed a lifelong passion for picking flowers. After university, she worked as an antiquarian book specialist at Sotheby's in London. As part of her role, she catalogued a gardening catalogue, which built on her childhood passion for picking and foraging. Once married and having had children, she signed up for a course in Practical Horticulture, which The English Gardening School were running at Chelsea Physic Garden. And she found the course life-changing. Fifteen years ago, she and her family moved to Blacklands, a Georgian house in North West Wiltshire, which has a series of walled gardens. Missing the flowers she'd been used to buying at New Covent Garden Flower Market in London, Polly decided to begin growing her own. And she started by planting tulip bulbs. Five years later, Bayntun Flowers was born. Initially, she was selling hand-tied bunches and floral designs for small events locally. Polly brought in Arne Maynard to help with the design of the garden. And he suggested that she took on a Head Gardener. Polly discusses the different varieties of tulips that she currently grows, including an annual crop and historic tulips. The latter have recently been awarded National Collection status with Plant Heritage. She also discusses her numerous sustainability practices, the range of workshops that she has planned for this year and her incredible press coverage. She talks about the impact of the pandemic on her business, together with her 2022 plans. Listening to this episode, you'll hear how passionate Polly is about sustainability and growing flowers, in particular tulips. And I'm sure you'll really enjoy the interview!Show notes are available on the My Small Business & Me website: https://mysmallbusinessandme.com/episode54Flower Photography (iPhone Version) Online Course: https://learn.flowerona.com/flower-photography-iphone-version

Monique Gudgeon is on a mission to create a botanic garden. And what better way to get started than to build a new National Plant Collection. In creating a garden from scratch, one of her priorities is to bring in species which both work with the surrounding Dorset landscape and that are in need of conservation. There is a huge diversity of garden plants that need to be looked after so cultivars aren't lost when they go out of fashion. National Plant Collections were created by the charity Plant Heritage to ensure these plants are preserved and documented for the future. Of the plant groups that don't currently have a custodian, Monique decided to choose forsythia - deciduous shrubs often overlooked as just a hedging plant which burst into vibrant yellow flowers in early spring. In the process of sourcing and propagating all the varieties needed for a collection, Monique has become utterly fascinated by them and their history. Helen Mark hears the story of Monique's successes and failures so far, and explores what it takes to build and maintain a National Plant Collection. We also meet people behind other collections and hear what drives their particular fascination with a group of plants, and how they fit in to their landscapes. We hear the stories of Benjamin Matthews, one of the youngest holders of a National Collection and how his love of hostas led to an unlikely friendship; Lucy Skellorn who has been collecting the irises bred by her great-great grandfather Sir Michael Foster; and Anne Greenall who has a spectacular collection of hydrangeas which thrive in her windswept coastal garden in west Scotland.

But as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Patchwork is an unconventional memoir. The original storytelling method Claire conceived for this book portrays the facts of her life in an abstract manner, prompting the reader to imagine the finer details. The writing process, Claire explains, was as much of a therapeutic exercise as a creative release. She embarked on this book in 2014. She then experienced the passing of her beloved parents and also undertook the most challenging curatorial project of her career - staging the Metropolitan Museum's blockbuster exhibition, Alexander McQueen, Savage Beauty at the V&A. Claire Wlicox has worked closely with some of the biggest names in fashion from McQueen to Vivienne Westwood and the Versace family. And along with discussing her new book, she provides a peek behind the closed doors of the V&A, its groundbreaking fashion department, where she has worked for decades. She also discusses some of the legendary professionals who elevated the museum onto the world stage including Sir Roy Strong and Valerie D. Mendes.

Claudette Dean Expressing the Inexpressible Through Color, Form, and Word Natural mystic and visionary, Claudette Dean, has been practicing as a visual artist, poet, and author. Her spiritually based work expresses universal themes such as love, light, and connection, and is often inspired by nature. Issues of identity and womanhood are also often at the forefront of her work. Having successfully practiced as a painter and mixed media artist since the early 1990’s, her portfolio includes four solo exhibitions, numerous group shows both national and international, an award for excellence in Fine Art from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and inclusion in most major art collections in the Bahamas, including the National Collection. In 2010, Claudette first added the written and spoken word to her arsenal of creativity when she was prompted to write a series of love poems to the Divine. These poems are featured in her book, Inner Sanctum, along with original paintings from her second solo exhibition. She went on to write and perform Resurrection, a performance art video which was featured at The National Art Gallery in their 6th National Exhibition. Then in 2018, she published her first novel, Smelling Roses - A Tale of Connection and Transformation. Claudette considers her journey to self discovery through her art, as most notable, and the greatest measure of her success, those who’ve mentioned being touched by her work. In her own words: “I create because it is my place of connection. Embracing the unknown, I continue exploring and expressing from this place of connection as I follow the Golden Thread. Through the process, I discover my gifts, and through the work, I share them. And the journey continues.” In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, Claudette works from her rebuilt home studio and office, and resides with husband, Donald Dean, on the island of Grand Bahama.

Claudette Dean was born in 1954 and raised on the beautiful north shore of Lake Huron in Blind River, Ontario, Canada. In 1975, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature from the University of Windsor. She spent the summer of '75 continuing her studies at The University of Nice, France, and it was while studying there, that she first sensed an intuitive pull towards the visual arts—a direction which she was not yet ready to embark upon. After living and working in Toronto, and then in Montreal, in 1979 Claudette left the shores of her native land and crossed the ocean to marry her fiancee, Donald, and make The Bahamas her new home. Settling into her new life, she worked as a French teacher, and in 1982 gave birth to her son, Donald Jr. She spent the next eleven years owning and operating two local successful businesses. At a time in her life when the status quo was no longer enough, and as a search for Self intensified, the visual arts came back into focus. She headed into the waters of creativity and soon found herself joyfully swept up in the flow. Claudette totally devoted herself to her craft. Through focus, dedication, and consistent studio work—along with the mentorship of noted Bahamian artist and sculptor Antonius Roberts, and the support of family and friends—a successful career as an artist ensued. Beginning in the early 1990s, her voyage has encompassed four solo exhibitions, countless group and juried shows on both national and international levels, an award for Excellence in the Realm of Fine Art from the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and the pleasure of seeing her work in the most prestigious collections at home and abroad, including The National Collection of The Bahamas. In 2005, Dr. Erica M. James, then Director of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas wrote: “Claudette Dean paints from the spirit, what she believes in that moment is true… for her, and artists like her, art can become a medium in and of itself. The process of art making can initiate a spiritual transformation on the part of the artist, and the potential also exists for this spirit to move in the viewer as they engage the work.”Claudette DeanThe process of art making did indeed initiate spiritual transformation on the part of the artist—and Claudette considers the greatest measure of her success to be those who have expressed being moved by the transformational spirit of her work. Beginning in the early 1990s, she navigated the waters of creativity primarily as a painter and mixed media artist. In 2010, acting upon an intuitive prompt, she wrote a series of poems to compliment a body of work for her second solo exhibition. The poems—love poems to the divine—and the paintings, are featured in a book named for this exhibition, Inner Sanctum. Claudette subsequently broadened her sights to include the written and spoken word, and adjusted her compass accordingly. The Circles of Life, a personal essay describing her spiritual awakening, was selected for publication in the 2012 edition of WomanSpeak—A Journal of Literature and Art by Caribbean Woman—a publication which from its 4th volume in 1999, has featured Claudette’s artwork, and has selected her paintings for the covers of the 2010 and 2014 editions. She went on to write and perform Resurrection, a performance art video which was shown at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas in their 6th National Exhibition, Kingdom Come. The producer of the video, David Mackey of Mackeymedia.com, described the video as Claudette’s Magnus Opus and wrote: “Seeing Claudette's work, one can't help but conclude that she is spiritually connected to unwritten laws that foster harmonious coexistence free from the superficial veils of delusion that mask our true selves."In 2016, Claudette joined a local writers group. A story she wrote in response to a prompt given at one of the meetings would, over the next two years, spill out into a full blown novel. In 2018, with the publication of Smelling Roses––A Tale of Connection and Transformation, Claudette became an author. “Claudette Dean’s inspirational artistry now manifests itself in this intriguing book written in her unique style. A very plausible story, it is interspersed with intuited messages of Universal truth illuminating The Way. Smelling Roses is a beautiful thought-provoking work from a spiritually guided writer.” — Barbara R.H. Chester, founder of the Grand Bahama LabyrinthIn Claudette's own words, “Embracing the unknown, I continue exploring and expressing from my place of connection as I follow the Golden Thread. Through the process, I discover my gifts, and through the work, I share them. And the journey continues.”In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, Claudette works from her rebuilt home studio and office, and resides with husband, Donald Dean, on the island of Grand Bahama. www.claudettedean.com

Bird and dinosaur skull evolution; the wonders of yeast and Science Museum mystery object

Skulls give researchers a great deal of insight into how an animal might have evolved, and skulls can be sensibly compared between species and groups of animals. The 10,000 species of bird around the world are what’s left of an even more diverse group, the dinosaurs. But research on their skulls has revealed that despite the birds’ exceptional diversity, they evolve far more slowly than their dinosaur relatives ever did. This is one of the findings of a huge skull mapping project at the Natural History Museum led by Anjali Goswami. Marnie Chesterton delights Adam Rutherford with what she has recently learned about the single-celled fungus that is yeast. She recently visited the National Collection of Yeast Cultures in Norwich, which stores hundreds of thousands of strains of yeast. She discovered that yeast is not only responsible for the production and subtle flavours of bread, yeast and chocolate, but also that some species of yeast can actually clean carbon dioxide from the air and can be used to feed livestock. The Science Museum Group looks after over 7.3 million items. As with most museums, the objects you see on display when you visit is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire collection. Up until now, many of the remainder (300,000 objects) has been stored in Blythe House in London. But now the collection is being moved to a purpose-built warehouse in Wiltshire. The move is a perfect opportunity for curators to see what’s there, re-catalogue long hidden gems and to conserve and care for their treasures. But during the process they have discovered a number of unidentified items that have been mislabelled or not catalogued properly in the past and some of them are just so mysterious, or esoteric, that the Science Museum needs the aid of the public to help identify them, and their uses. This week, Jessica Bradford, the keeper of collection engagement at the Science Museum is asking Inside Science listeners if they recognise, or can shed light on the possible use of the ‘glassware’ in the picture above.
