Jenny Watson Declares
No full textFor more than four decades, Jenny Watson has deliberately placed the figure of the artist at the centre of her work. We might think of this figure - a girl-woman with long red hair, big eyes and thin legs, wearing a frock - as a generic female, or perhaps as an Alice? But it is Jenny, surely? These highly narrativised paintings present such a personal, subjective and often confessional voice that it is impossible to distance their subject from the artist This is made all the more difficult by the apparently interior dialogue of the girl-woman, writ large and loud within the bounds of the figurative painting and on accompanying text panels, and the first-person narrative it tells, This may seem to simply be a case of the artist-author representing her lived experience for an audience. But, as much as this works with a candid spontaneity of address, the autobiographical positioning of Watson's works is anything but straightforward We cannot identify these issues of autobiography in Watson's painting without also remembering that her work has always been positioned as conceptual art and that she has a troubled faith in the immediacy of representation, In many ways, the relationship between the subject of Watson's paintings and their artist-maker is the point where the complexity of the works is emphatically underscored.Arts, Education & Law Group, Queensland College of ArtNo Full Tex

Australia's costly investment in Solomon Islands: the lessons of RAMSI
No full textSummary
In this Analysis Lowy Institute Melanesia Program Director, Jenny Hayward-Jones, argues that Australia’s massive expenditure of 2.6 billion on the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands over ten years was a high price to pay for stability in a country of 500,000 people.
The RAMSI experience showed the value of integrating Australia’s foreign, economic, aid and security policies and just as importantly of working with Pacific island partners in the region.
Large-scale missions like RAMSI would benefit from clearly defined exit strategies and rigorous assessment of performance in order to control costs and maximise impact
Verbetering van de oeververbinding Boskamp - Jenny (Suriname)
No full textDe huidige veerverbinding tussen Boskamp en Jenny funktioneert onvoldoende om te kunnnen zorgen voor een goede verkeersafwikkeling en is onbetrouwbaar en onveilig. Uit de planologische vóór-studie (rapport 1) volgt dat de benodigde overzet kapaciteit in 2019, 130 personen-auto equivalenten per uur moet bedragen. Om dit doel te bereiken, is naar verschillende alternatieve oplossingen gekeken. Na afweging van de verschillende alternatieve oplossingen, blijkt dat het "twee veerboten en nieuwe steigers" systeem het hoogst skoort. Deze geheel vernieuwde veerverbinding zal op de huidige lokatie gesitueerd worden. De veerboten zijn van het type Roll-on/Roll-off en moeten een laadkapaciteit hebben van ongeveer 30 p.a.e .. De vereiste snelheid bedraagt 18 km/u (de normale trage boten). Bij de uitwerking van de steiger konstruktie zal zoveel mogelijk hout toegepast worden. De steiger afmetingen zullen worden aangepast aan de huidige verkeerseisen. Ook zullen de steigers beschermd worden tegen aanvaringen. In dit rapport zal dit alternatief verder uitgewerkt worden.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Alternative Readings of North: Jenny Gilbertson, M.E.M. Donaldson and Margaret Fay Shaw
No full textBy looking at examples of Jenny Gilbertson, M.E.M. Donaldson, Margaret Fay Shaw and Nan Shepherd’s film and photography work from 1920s'-1940s', this 20 minute paper assessed if these three women offered a different reading on the landscape of the North from their better known male contemporaries.
Through archival sources, alongside their film, photography and literature outputs, I presented their aims, methods and examples of their work. In order to contextualize their approach to the Scottish Highland & Islands landscape, I referred to examples of work by Werner Kissling and John Grierson.
Jenny Gilbertson (1902-1990) moved to Shetland from Glasgow to live on a croft, producing her first film 'A Crofter's Life in Shetland' (60 mins) in 1931. On showing this to John Grierson (1898-1972), he went on to buy a further five of her films on aspects of Shetland life for the G.P.O. Film Unit. Through the time spent living on Shetland in a crofting community, Gilbertson was able to follow the cycles of seasons in her films, both of nature and related crofting activity including farming and fishing. Her engagement and relationships made with the crofters also established a natural rapport with them in front of camera.
Author and photographer Mary Ethel Muir Donaldson (1876-1958) wrote guides, for which her photographs often illustrated, including ‘Wandering in the Western Highlands and Islands‘(1921) and ‘Further Wanderings-Mainly in Argyll’ (1926). Her photography also had a focus on Ardnamurchan, in particular at Sanna, where Donaldson built her house in 1927, complete with photography studio, and lived there until 1947. Donaldson’s landscapes are not composed as passive views to be looked at; they are to be journeyed into. The walk or journey was an integral part of her process.
Margaret Fay Shaw (1903-2004), an American, lived from 1929-35 on a croft on South Uist, with sisters Màiri (1883-1972) and Peigi MacRae (1874-1969), documenting their lives and those of their neighbours, in the community of North Glendale. A trained musician, her primary motivation was to transcribe Gaelic songs at their source. Photography and filming became another means of recording the everyday details. Shaw's life work 'Folksongs and Folklore of South Uist' (1955) brings all aspects together in an immersive portrait.
By presenting the voices and work of Gilbertson, Donaldson, Shaw and Shepherd, this paper proposed an alternative view of the North
