Liam Clancy - Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Mitch Sheehy

When I was a boy I loved the song Waltzing Matilda. I liked the Australian words, billabong, billy can, coolibah tree, jumbuck, and learned that Matilda was a word for a backpack frame. The song allowed me to travel to an exotic place. When I saw Eric Bogle's song, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda, I thought I knew what I was going to hear. Instead hearing it I was gutted.

There are many great renditions of the song. Eric Bogle in an interview remarked:

A lot of people now think the song is traditional. And a lot of people think that I died in the war, and penned it in blood as I expired in the bottom of a trench. I never thought the song would outlast me, but I have decided now there's no doubt it will. For how long, I have no idea. Nothing lasts forever. Hopefully it'll be sung for quite a few years down the track, especially in this country. And hopefully it will get to the stage where everyone forgets who wrote it.[1]

We need this song.

Toshinobu Onosato (1912 – 1986) was a Japanese printmaker. His work frequently included geometric shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles, leading to his reputation as a pioneer of scientifically oriented design.

Onosato was born in Iida, Nagano. His family moved to Kiryu, Gunma when he was a child. He studied Western-style painting under Seifū Tsuda. In 1935 he had his first exhibition, which was with the Nika Association. The same year he formed a group called "Kokusho" with three other artists who studied under Tsuda. In 1937, he helped to found the Free Artists Association (Jiyu Bijutsuka Kyokai). (wiki)

From the series of 8 works in “Gamtos [iš]jautimas (Nature re[felt])” that takes nature phenomena that is near artists heart and expresses into linocut works. The phenomena are then personified and written into a play, where the artist has heartfelt conversations with them. (https://sites.google.com/view/pjese/lt?authuser=1)

Intricate paper cut-outs by Canadian artist Myriam Dion

From found vintage newspapers and hand-painted designs, Myriam Dion composes remarkably detailed collages. Known for reimagining newspapers into sculptural, geometric works, the Montréal-based artist has recently begun experimenting with a range of found materials, like gouache-painted samples of antique textile patterns and pages from old garden books.

Myriam explains: "I did a lot of installations during my bachelor's degree; I liked the monumental aspect of the works and their immersive quality. When I began incorporating newspaper articles into the heart of the pieces, with a more political message, I also added increasingly smaller and more intricate motifs. These are very intense and highly detailed works that are then framed and sold by the Blouin Division gallery . The subjects I work with from newspapers are very clearly defined; you immediately recognize what they are about, it's quite obvious. On the other hand, the large-scale installations correspond to a more subjective aspect of my practice. They leave more room for the viewer's interpretation, which is freer, more focused on contemplation or immersion."

More of Rory Foster, who is a full-time, self-taught potter based in Austin, Texas. Working from a home studio, Foster creates hand-built, slab-constructed ceramics such as planters and vases, featuring vibrant glazes inspired by nature.

Rory tells: "In the fall of 2017, I changed careers and shifted my world into the limitless realm of pottery. I had never worked with clay or glazes before, but soon realized it was something I absolutely loved and have practiced, every single day, since.

Each piece begins as a slab of high-fire stoneware clay which I hand-build into its final shape. The pieces are then bisque fired and sanded to create a canvas for my favorite part: the design and glazing. My designs are inspired by both nature and negative space in objects. I start with a shape or line and move from there, always with a desire to create movement. Anything from nature—landscapes, sunsets, insects, and birds—guide my choice of colours."
