The Powell-Cotton Dioramas and the Re-interpretation of an Idyll
No full textThis research examines the natural habitat dioramas created by Major P.H.G. Powell-Cotton, in doing so
it affects a remembering of a sense of place where a diorama reflects in Mieke Bal's view a three-dimensionality
that draws on architectural space; it then considers the three dimensional representation of
the landscape within the diorama itself; the two-dimensional illusion of a trompe l'oeil landscape
painting; and the exterior space occupied by the viewer. The Powell-Cotton natural habitat dioramas exist
behind large glass screens their purpose follows an aesthetic relationship with the emergence of the
natural habitat diorama and the ability to transfix perception through the re-interpretation of an idyll. The
potential for this practice-based research was to explore the possibility of developing an aesthetic for
sculpture and architectural space. However in focussing on the Powell-Cotton dioramas the notion of
aesthetic attitude would lose ground due to their idiosyncratic, artificial, and extraordinary nature, it then
prepared the basis of interpretation in establishing 'theatres of landscape' as an open concept. With
landscape, a sense of place anticipates various positions and numerous delays; it recollects the cognitive
knowledge brought to the prospect that involves aspects in, of and about landscape. Regarding the
studio-based project, the diorama was placed between the real and the unreal, challenging Bal's rationale
of the cognitive relationship of a diorama to the concept of a discursive space. Where both artist and
viewer 'activates' this space with their presence, they bring their own recollection of landscape and by
assigning landscape with memory the potentiality is where cognition becomes accentuated. Whereas the
unknown and uncharted can refute reality, memory is dependent on what is known both formally and
informally, it places the natural habitat diorama in a visual system that is both constructive and
destructive. Therefore the research methodology examines the historical context of the diorama through a
doctoral thesis by Karen Wonders and an analysis of Louis Daguerre's diorama by Richard Altick.
Following Bal's analysis of the diorama, this created a dilemma - in what ways are the perceptions of the
observer determined, and how are they undermined? Jonathan Crary and Giuliana Bruno considered the
diorama's position in relation to film and film archaeology, which ultimately the diorama and natural
habitat diorama could not compete with. In asking what has Powell-Cotton's museum to offer in the 21st
century, this thesis examines the concept of a diorama, its objectives and correspondingly its failings. As
the dioramas in the Powell-Cotton Museum were undocumented, these dioramas and their written, visual
and architectural relationship to Louis Daguerre offer a contribution to knowledge concurrent with the
relationship of this practice based research project. Whereupon the research diary forms the basis of a
contribution to new knowledge in the construction of small and large-scale dioramas, sculpture and
installations. By challenging Bal's analysis this research practice would investigate natural and projected
light and the visual language of transparency, translucency and opacity in the representation of landscape
and landscape as motif, and progressing to the structural implications of 2D and 3D work

New Hebrides (= Vanuatu): Malekula Atchin Island, vi. 1929, L. Cheesman, 3 males; Malekula Atchin Island, iii.1930, L. Cheesman, 1 male (NHM); Malekula, 1 male (BPBM, per image in Ballantyne and Lambkin 2009). Diagnosis. Atyphella maritimus is distinguished from all other South Pacific Atyphella, except A. aphrogeneia and A. marigenous by the thickened elytral apices in conjunction with a dark median marking on the pronotum (see Ballantyne and Lambkin 2009). Atyphella maritimus resembles A. aphrogeneia and A. marigenous but differs in the following ways; excavation on frons shallow (frons deeply excavated in A. marigenous); pronotum broadly rounded (pronotum with weakly obtuse, anterior angles in A. aphrogeneia); base of scutellum with dense punctation (punctation larger, but less dense in A. marigenous and A. aphrogeneia); weak elytral costae (more pronounced elytral costae in A. marigenous). Description. Holotype. Male. Overall, body parallel-sided, length 9.8mm, width measured at elytral humeri 3.7mm. Coloration: Elytra and head dark brown to black, pronotum notably lighter, light brown with disc darker (Fig. 1E, H). Venter lighter than pronotal margins, becoming darker apically but before the light organ. Sculpturing on dorsal body surfaces moderately shiny beneath pubescence; pubescence fine and gold in color. Legs tan at base, darkening distally. Head: 2.4mm at widest point (center of eyes), eyes large, black; frons depressed, depression broad, widening and becoming shallow towards clypeus, red apunctate region at narrowest point of depression, setae long and golden on frons; antennae filiform, light brown gradually becoming lighter in color distally; scape about 0.3mm long, antennomeres 2–11 broadly uniform in length and about half as long as scape; mandibles sickleshaped, reddish brown, darker toward pointed apices; apical maxillary palpomere enlarged, widest almost at base, apex rounded, longer than wide; apical labial palpomere longer than wide, similar to that of apical maxillary palpomere but smaller and thinner, half as long as apical maxillary palpomere. Pronotum: 2.3mm long, 3.4mm wide, pronotal width slightly less than humeral width; margins light brown, basal third subparallel, broadly rounded anteriorly, weakly explanate, hind angles almost at right angles; disc dark brown, dorsal surface with dense punctation, with dark median region not reaching either anterior or posterior margins, median area of dorsal surface somewhat convex. Scutellum: trapezoidal with dense punctation, dark brown with thin, lighter lateral and posterior margins. Elytra: 7.4mm long, dark brown almost black, parallel-sided; punctures dense, not as large as that on pronotum, unevenly spaced; epipleuron developed as ridge along margin, widest at humeri, narrowing posteriorly, weakly developed towards apex; Costae somewhat pronounced, becoming less defined apically. Abdomen: Ventrites 1–4 tan, becoming darker anteriorly, fat body visible at margins of ventrite 2 to ventrite 4; light organ occupying all of ventrite 5–6. Legs: Dark brown except for pale coxae, trochanters, and basal half of femora; dark marking present on metacoxae. Aedeagus: 1.3mm long, 0.7mm wide, slender (Fig. 2B); median lobe slightly longer than lateral lobes; posterior end of lateral lobes curve toward each other; lateral margins of lateral lobes symmetrical, tapering to apex, and rounded, diverging anteriorly; lateral lobes more sclerotized ventrally before apical fourth; median lobe apex rounded and ventrally excavated. Variation. Males: Length 8.7–10.3mm (n=10), width 2.9–3.3mm (n=10). Pronotum of some specimens lighter in color. Depression on frons sometimes deeper with apunctate region larger. Female: Length, allotype 12.9mm, width 4.7mm. Females similar to males, pubescence more dense on elytra; head is noticeably smaller and covered entirely by pronotum. Eyes much smaller, depression on frons also less developed. Ventral surface overall lighter, without darker patch on metasternite, instead small cloudy darker region on ventrites 1–2. Fat tissue visible through entire ventrites 1–6. Abdomen enlarged. Distribution. Atyphella maritimus is known from the islands of Malekula and Santo, Vanuatu. Etymology. In reference to the habitat this taxon is found in, the specific epithet for this species is derived from the Latin term for coastal. Biology. Atyphella maritimus was collected on volcanic rock outcroppings subject to high tide and frequent waves from the Pacific Ocean. Larvae were observed to inhabit the crevices of these rocks with despite regular sprays of salt-water and individuals were often seen clinging to wet rocks. Adult males were caught flying out over these rocks and climbing on the same rocks as females collected. Only at one locality did we observe a second species of firefly belonging to the genus Maganalata which allowed us to infer the relationship of the males and females here. Additionally, various instars were collected at all locations suggesting that this species reproduces yearround. Nine larvae were collected from Malekula, Tenmaru and completely submerged in salt-water for fourteen hours with a 100 percent survival rate, suggesting that the larvae of this species are at least partially marine and able to withstand being submerged during high tide. The similar biology and morphology of this species to Atyphella aphrogeneia and Atyphella marigneous suggests that these species are closely related.Published as part of Saxton, Natalie A., Powell, Gareth S., Martin, Gavin J. & Bybee, Seth M., 2020, Two new species of coastal Atyphella Olliff (Lampyridae: Luciolinae), pp. 270-276 in Zootaxa 4722 (3) on pages 271-272, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4722.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/360710
Scattered data fitting on surfaces using projected Powell-Sabin splines
No full textWe present C1 methods for either interpolating data or for fitting scattered data associated with a smooth function on a two-dimensional smooth manifold Ω embedded into R3. The methods are based on a local bivariate Powell-Sabin interpolation scheme, and make use of local projections on the tangent planes. The data fitting method is a two-stage method. We illustrate the performance of the algorithms with some numerical examples, which, in particular, confirm the O(h3) order of convergence as the data becomes dens
