The Language of Trees is a poetry collection based on a series of walks, and rooted in the experience of place on a small island off the west coast of Canada.

Searching for the SublimeLim, Kheng Saik 01 November 2016 (has links)
The influential philosophers Edmund Burke and Emmanuel Kant understand the sublime as events and objects that cause an emotional reaction so magnificent that the intellect fails to comprehend it. It is thus deeply felt and experienced but remains undefined and non-understood. Searching for the Sublime is a suite of paintings that seek to respond to these definitions of the sublime. Together they address and evoke themes of mystery, fear, power, and the unknowable through the medium of painting.

Mindfulness of MinnowsHollis, Will 01 July 2018 (has links)
Literature is a deeply personal and interpersonal act from the author to the reader. In some way the author is attempting to capture their interpretation of space and time inside the vehicle of language. Through metaphor and enjambment, syntax and imagery, this thesis attempts to render the contemporary experience of the artist as he is grounded in location and interpretation. The lens used in inspecting the world is biological and philosophical, seeking and hiding from the truth.
Nature and science are used as linking languages in the collections of poems, seeking to be united with emotion based in the bedrock of Kentucky. Poetry is ephemeral in its brevity, but concrete in the impressions it can leave with the reader. The author has attempted to render the facts as he observed them in language which is specifically universal. No one else could have participated in the experiment of research, but all are welcome to share in the observations.
Kentucky is the pivotal element in this research. Experimentation was made with other locations, but the sense of place that can only be found in these hills provides the fertilizer for the elements of literary art to flourish. The author seeks to enrich the landscape that has created him, and to provide a snapshot of this land and its people.

Other NatureBrashear Jr, Frederick 01 June 2019 (has links)
Other Nature
Other nature is a long term, ongoing documentary project that explores the relationship between humans and the natural environment of the Mojave Desert. Predicated on the reduction of the Joshua Tree woodlands that surround my home of Hesperia, Other Nature examines and questions the practices used in the creation of the built environments that are replacing the Mojave’s endemic terrain.
Through various techniques, I document and record the systematic removal of the Mojave’s natural presence. Photography, eco-printing and paper making all offer a cathartic approach to witnessing the loss of these natural spaces. Included in my work is an aspect of gathering and reclaiming removed plant material to commemorate the beauty of and offer a voice to a habitat that is being forever changed.

Pyramid schemeJesko, Alex 01 May 2019 (has links)
I was watching the tele the other night and a commercial came on exclaiming that scientists have found a way to translate waveforms into text to help the deaf. I realized at that moment; I am as much a scientist as I am an artist. In this regard, composition is deemed a scientific recipe. Ingredients such as conveying the rhythm of linguistic discoveries to further guide fragmented responses of memories. Analyzing frequencies emerging upon application of colors adjacent as well as finding the visual balance that coheres with a particular tempo as relating to sound and vibration to exploit the untold conversations between traditional means and contemporary constructions. There’s a sync button for everything we do, finding that button is the test. I do not confine myself as a scientist, tomorrow I may think I’m a surgeon. But only after I’ve exhausted every theory for my actions, after I’ve become synchronized within the realm of my creations, will I then be able to determine why I’ve governed myself to evolve with what it is that I am becoming.

The impact of the removal of the Multi-Fiber Arrangement on textile and cotton trade of the United States and ChinaXia, Yan 12 April 2006 (has links)
Textiles and apparel trade has been governed by the Multi-Fiber Arrangement
(MFA) for three decades. Trade restrictions have generated substantial welfare losses
and price wedges in exporting and importing countries through trade distortions.
Beginning in 1995, textiles and apparel trade underwent fundamental changes in trade
flows and patterns. The World Trade OrganizationÂs Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing (ATC) aimed to remove all MFA quotas by January 2005.
This study established an equilibrium displacement model to investigate the
impact on textile and cotton sectors of different countries and country-groups of
removing the MFA quota. The model specifies the basic linkages of textile and cotton
markets in the United States, China and four other country-groups. With different
assumptions about U.S. textile supply elasticity, foreign cotton exporters reaction and
changes in the U.S. farm program payments, alternative scenarios are simulated to
predict changes in domestic and import demand for textiles and apparel, import demand
for U.S. cotton, domestic and import price of textiles and apparel, U.S. cotton price and
adjusted world cotton price. Uniform distribution was imposed for selected parameters
involved in the model to overcome the deficiency of equilibrium displacement models of
assuming certainty of known related parameters.
Results indicate increased import demand for U.S. cotton by China, higher U.S.
cotton supply, more textile and apparel supply from China, decreased domestic demand
for U.S. cotton, and lower U.S. domestic demand for textiles and apparel. However,
prices of both textile and cotton markets experience both positive and negative changes
under different scenarios. Holding other assumptions unchanged, when farm program
payments increase, U.S. cotton price and adjusted world cotton price declined. When
farm program payments are held constant, prices rise. The changes expected in U.S.
cotton price are, in absolute value, greater than those of the adjusted world price.

The observer effectTajpour, Azadeh 08 March 2010 (has links)
My work explores the gray area and the shifting border between "us" and "other." It investigates the helplessness and the submissiveness on both sides of this spectrum and one's passivity that makes the "pain of others" inevitable. Moreover, it examines the individual and collective experiences of guilt and complicity in relation to world events. I am interested in the selective and repressed memories of individuals and nations, the reluctance to look and the ability to forget.
