Sheela na gig – Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities

Sheela na gig

£26.00

Product description from their website:

No Home Should Be Without One – Wonderful Sandstone Cement Frost proof Replicas 12 x 8cm

A sheela na gig is a figurative carving of a naked woman displaying an exaggerated vulva. These carvings, from the Middle Ages, are architectural grotesques found throughout most of Europe on cathedrals, castles, and other buildings.

The greatest concentrations can be found in Ireland, Great Britain, France and Spain, sometimes together with male figures. Ireland has the greatest number of surviving sheela na gig carvings; Joanne McMahon and Jack Roberts cite 124 examples in Ireland and 45 examples in Britain. One of the best examples may be found in the Round Tower at Rattoo, in County Kerry, Ireland. There is a replica of the Round Tower sheela na gig in the County Museum in Tralee town. Another well-known example may be seen at Kilpeck in Herefordshire, England.

The carvings may have been used to ward off death, evil and demons. Other grotesque carvings, such as gargoyles and hunky punks, were frequently part of church decorations all over Europe. It is commonly said that their purpose was to keep evil spirits away (see apotropaic magic). They often are positioned over doors or windows, presumably to protect these openings.

The Daily News RIP screen print 

£225.00

Product description from their website:

Melissa Gordon

The Daily News RIP (Connecticut Courant, October 29, 1764), 2013

Melissa Gordon’s The Daily News RIP (Connecticut Courant, October 29, 1764), 2013 is part of a series of art works that take their inspiration from journalism. Taking the grid structure from the front page of a now defunct newspaper, the artist removes all information except for the structuring lines and columns. These elements form the composition of the work, which Gordon creates by pushing paint through blank silk screens that would usually have an image exposed onto them. By combining these techniques, the artist blurs the line between the mechanical process of print and the handcrafted nature of painting.

  • Artist Name: Melissa Gordon
  • Edition Title: The Daily News RIP (Connecticut Courant, October 29, 1764)
  • Year: 2013
  • Edition of 15
  • Materials: Full colour screen print
  • Dimensions: 700 x 500mm

Dolly the Sheep Tea Towel – National Museums Scotland

Dolly the Sheep - Tea Towel

£8.99

Product description from their website:

This vibrant and informative Tea Towel is perfect for your day to day, and for learning about the incredible life of Dolly the sheep!

Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. Before Dolly was born, this was thought to be impossible. Scientists believed that specialised adult cells, those that had a certain job (like a skin cell or a liver cell), only held the information to do with that job. Dolly was grown from a single mammary cell which contained all the information to create a whole new sheep.

Dolly started her life as a single cell in a test tube taken from the mammary gland of a Finn Dorset sheep and an egg cell from a Scottish Blackface Sheep. Once normal development was confirmed in a lab at six days, the embryo was transferred into a surrogate mother. Dolly was then born on 5 July 1996 and named after the country western singer Dolly Parton.

This book brings the discussion up to date by exploring current questions of identity and why self-portraiture continues to be relevant today.

Self-portraits by major artists such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, Angelica Kau man and William Hogarth are presented here alongside modern and contemporary work by artists such as Grayson Perry, Sonia Boyce and Gillian Wearing.
