WETA Workshop Fantasy Exhibition

Sometimes in the backwood wildes of Korea, something magical and wonderful happens.  This was one of those things. I and three companions made the KTX trek into Seoul, the 3rd largest city on the planet, to lay our eyes on WETA Workshop Fantasy Exhibition. It was, of course, the most amazing exhibit of sculpture, statues, paintings, and drawings I had seen in a long time. The exhibition featured artist Johnny Fraser-Allen and his upcoming projects The Gloaming Trilogy and The Wandering Woods. Both had me instantly hooked and longing to be transported to the magical lands both inhabit. The rest of the Weta Workshop Fantasy Exhibition had work from Max Patte, Javier Murcia, Jamie Beswarick, David Meng, Daniel Cockersell, Lee Cross, Andrew Baker, Kim Beaton, Greg Broadmore, Ryk Fortuna, Bill Hunt, Gary Hunt, David Meng, Greg Tozer and Brigitte Wuest. I was enthralled by Javier Murcia's work. It was a mixture of stillness and movement; unbridled restraint. If this wonderful collection makes it way to your neighbourhood, definitely go see it! And utilize the audio tour that accompanies it.

Ishi: The Last Yahi

Image
   Ishi (c1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the present-day state of California in the United States. The rest of the Yahi (as well as many members of their parent tribe, the Yana) were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, who was widely acclaimed as the "last wild Indian" in the United States, lived most of his life isolated from modern North American culture. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi (3.2 km) from downtown Oroville, California. Ishi, which means "man" in the Yana language, is an adopted name. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because, in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi. When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me," meaning that there was no other Yahi to speak his name on his behalf. Ishi was taken in by anthrop
