Описание: A third-generation Inuit artist based in Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada, Shuvinai Ashoona is best known for her highly personal and imaginative iconographic art. In this catalogue spanning a twenty-year career, Ashoona's imagery begins with closely observed naturalistic scenes of her Arctic home of Kinngait (formerly known as Cape Dorset), continuing a tradition begun by Ashoona's grandmother and cousin, also artists. Later, shifting to more monstrous and fantastical visions, her drawings imagine the past and present fused into a prophetic future: human-animal hybrid creatures, women birthing worlds, and mystical or otherworldly landscapes inspired by the Arctic terrain. Existing somewhere between dystopian and utopian, Ashoona's brightly colored pencil crayon and ink drawings teem with life. Unlike many settler visions of the future that seem to dwell on clashes between humans and nature, humans and other humans, or humans and otherworldly "invaders," Ashoona's earthly and extraterrestrial worlds exist within a kinder intergalactic future. Ashoona produces her work at the Kinngait Studios, the artistic arm of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative. Incorporated in 1959, the Studio has the strongest and longest tradition of any community-run, art-making cooperative in the Arctic. Presented alongside a major solo exhibition, this catalogue provides insight into Ashoona's practice, including essays from Canadian and international authors, a select exhibition history, and large-format illustrations, including installation images from The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto, Canada. This text is presented in both English and Inuiktitut.
The charm of starting a 'Bucket' List (whatever your age) is that, just like us, over time it should blossom and grow. People, places, ideas and experiences. Don't just think big, sometimes it's the little things that bring the biggest joy.
A lovely designed Bucket List Journal with different headings to give inspiration and some ideas in case they need help getting started with their own.
These may take a bit of time and patience
These may involve a lottery win
These cost nothing
These would make me smile
Good Deeds
Travel
These involve a cast of family and friends
These are a little bit silly
These would involve being BRAVE
Some of these may seem impossible, but i could have fun trying

Описание: In a stunning debut novel that evokes the epic scope of Colleen McCullough's classic The Thorn Birds, Harmony Verna creates a poignant, beautifully told story of love and courage, set in Australia and America in the early decades of the twentieth century. The desert of Western Australia is vast and unforgiving. It's a miracle that the little girl dressed in rags and abandoned in the sand is still breathing when an old miner discovers her. Even more so that he is able to keep her alive long enough to bring her to the town from which she'll take her name: Leonora. Sent to an orphanage, mute with grief and fear, Leonora slowly bonds with another orphan, James, who fights to protect her until both are sent away--Leonora to a wealthy American family, James to relatives who have emigrated from Ireland to claim him. Years later, Leonora is given a chance to return to her beloved Australia. There, in Wanjarri Downs, she will again come face to face with James, who's grown from a reticent boy into a strong, resourceful man. Only James knows the truth about Leonora--that her roots and her heart are here, among the gum trees and red earth. And they will fight to find a way back to each other, even as war, turmoil, and jealousy test their courage again and again. Sweeping in scale yet filled with intricately drawn characters and vivid details that conjure the fascinating setting, Daughter of Australia is storytelling at its most Advance Praise for Harmony Verna's DAUGHTER OF AUSTRALIA
"Verna's elegant and concise writing evokes a clear sense of the expanse and cruelty of the bush country and the toll it extracted from its people while examining themes of abandonment and human connection, the ebb and flow of life's fortunes, and ultimately, how our choices create our personal sense of identity. A beautiful, heart-wrenching story set at the turn of the twentieth century, Daughter of Australia is a compelling read "--Ellen Marie Wiseman, author of What She Left Behind and Coal River
"A captivating story of love and the search for identity. A mesmerizing debut novel."--Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of The Edge of Lost "A dazzling debut. Her story pulses with a cast of intriguing characters."--Duncan Alderson, author of Magnolia City "What distinguishes this powerful story of a love forged in a lonely and difficult childhood is the keen and vivid depiction of a harshly beautiful land and the people who choose or who are forced to inhabit it. This is a novel readers won't soon forget."--Holly Chamberlin, author of Summer With My Sisters
