Practice by Billie Muraben Miranda Keyes’s work on display at The Ragged School in London “I find the term ‘glass artist’ frustrating,” says sculptor Miranda Keyes “I think the binary nature of describing my work as ‘glass art’ ties in with a real ambivalence about the material who works from a beautifully-lit studio in south London learned how to sculpt with glass on her own terms training in bronze at university in Scotland and during a stint working at a foundry in Germany “but the way you create form means you have to know what it will look like at the end What I found so exciting about working with glass is that it’s all decided in the moment.” a method that allows her to work alone in her studio the material isn’t in a molten state —  the furnaces don’t need to run at all times and she doesn’t need to work with assistants to create the gestural sculptures that define her practice which look as if they have been caught in a flourish of abandon “There is something so special about the Ragged School Lighting glass is a nightmare — it can be completely flattened — but the way the sculptural gypsum walls reflect light is extraordinary.” With the exhibition underway Keyes reflects on navigating the balances of knowledge and mystery and the chance encounters that make up her approach to work and life it seems like there’s a degree to which the material decides for you You can make decisions in the moment and make gestures that show up in the final form but you can’t dictate what will happen exactly Miranda Keyes: If you have a clear idea of what you want to do Whenever I come to the studio with an agenda And if you try to impose too much will on glass it gets tired on a molecular level and becomes harder to work with It’s a good exercise in patience and knowing when to give up People who work with glass tend to be obsessive because it is such a mysterious material You can delve into it for your entire life and constantly return to making glasses I just find it so extraordinary and strange It will probably always remain mysterious to a certain extent The nature of scientific glass means that you can work alone What I love about the glass I work with is that you don’t have to plan everything before you start and not having to negotiate with other people — it becomes a very quiet tender space where I can just concentrate on the form You don’t have to wear ear protectors or a breathing mask We’ve had really hot summers here when I’ve been working in just a loincloth You wear wraparound glasses to protect your eyes Sculpture by Miranda Keyes from her solo exhibition The way you photograph your work is so specific A sense of narrative comes through more in its atmosphere Do you feel like the methods of display for your work whether in an exhibition or in a photograph I get locked in on that particular part of it: photographing the work in a very non-contextual where it just becomes a formal exploration with lots of depth And I’ve always found print so interesting and print off hundreds of pictures that I reference to inform my work It’s all photographs I’ve taken on my phone like cropped images of other people’s work I sift through them and pair them up so there are moments of cohesion Dowsing myself in these stacks of images is quite calming for me I can feel weary searching things out online but I also like that it is an analogue process finding new meanings or a glaringly obvious detail that I hadn’t noticed before They give you what you need at different times The pictures are quite fluid in that respect I’m lucky to have been in this studio for a long time so I can pull things off the shelves — they jolt me a little bit was on display at The Ragged School at 47 Union Street in London last fall Tulips by Miranda Keyes at The Ragged School in London I feel like there’s an expectation that if you work with glass That is the whole problem of being put in a big glass basket — that’s not where I want to be we all have our methods of processing and expressing what we want to communicate with the world That’s why I really balk at being called a glass artist It’s just the method I use to do the thing that I couldn’t live without to filter information into whatever form and for that to push you into a new place I think you’re incredibly lucky if you’re able to harness that in your life It’s what makes life bearable in many ways because it’s an autonomous space that is mysterious and driven by instinct It’s these things that we can’t pinpoint that make life worthwhile You can feel when someone is making work in a particular way because of a drive to express something versus when it is a self-conscious or cynical choice The moment when I look at it and it looks beyond me It’s not a vain thing — you’re constantly trying to get in touch with this feeling which in the end is to create works that are beyond you and 10 or 12 hours pass without you realizing it — that’s an extraordinary thing to achieve You become so engaged that things like hunger or tiredness just disappear so getting out of them is really liberating That feeling is like seeking a vanishing point It’s what makes the process so captivating and wanting to learn through the process of making I had no desire to be a person who worked with glass going through expensive training and having to buy all these tools — I would have felt so much pressure the first time I sat down to try to make something You can’t bludgeon the best parts of life with a formula because you really understand how to feel your way through things It’s about looking after this internal equilibrium which will point you in the right direction You can let go of the tyranny of trying to fix everything There’s a certain arrogance inherent in knowing exactly how something is supposed to be done there is an entirely different pressure when you veer away from that approach and focus more on your instincts and doing things your own way You’ve said that you seek a sense of control but you also work in ways that are very instinctive and up to chance It’s interesting to think about how we put ourselves in that in between space I spend so much time organizing this space It’s really good to create a framework in which you can then go to this very wild place the idea of living in that place all the time is intolerable It’s the archetype that we are plagued with in terms of the great painters and the great whatever: the alcoholic writer When you actually look at what their lives were like it’s not something I’d ever want for myself cutting yourself off from the pleasures and chaos of life which can spill out into this sense of grandiosity in relation to ‘your vision’ Your need to achieve at the cost of everything else You’ve got to live in order to make good work Text by Billie Muraben Miranda Keyes’s scuptural work was on display in the group show þe Sellokest Swyn at The Ragged School in London this spring was sworn in as the

One-by-one, they rolled their marble down a PVC pipe and into the structure to see if it succeeded or failed in turning 90 degrees the class picked up their project boards and brought them back inside Ms Each group took a few minutes to read through the critique forms that were left on their boards then they were offered the opportunity to either accept the criticism or challenge it.  If a critique form is challenged, the two groups come together and debate the criticism. Debates were animated, but Ms. Keyes was always quick to remind students to be respectful and helpful in their criticism the criticism is either accepted and changes are made to the project or rejected and it is a learning experience for the group that offered inaccurate criticism Ms. Keyes ended the lesson by asking each group if they would change anything about their project The opportunity to study each group’s project with the “I wonder” mindset led to almost every group expressing the desire to make some form of improvement Keyes is always encouraged by the way her students seamlessly embed ADI principles into their learning The method is proven to help students understand the concepts they are being taught plus the skills they develop along the way will continue to help them outside of the science classroom preparing them for whatever “I wonders” lie ahead in their futures.  Check back regularly all year as we continue to visit students and teachers

Fisher's annual Teddi Dance for Love since 2006 Thanks for visiting then off and on rain showers after midnight Eagle Scout Tyler Keyes of Manchester (center front) with his younger brother Maxwell (left rear) and his mom Jennifer (right rear) Eagle Scout Tyler Keyes (left) with his mentor Keyes' Eagle Project was to organize scouts and professionals to repair some of the oldest and most damaged grave markers in the cemetery in East Dorset and replaced many of the broken down markers senior Tyler Keyes of Burr and Burton Academy was also once his Cub Scout troop leader and later his Scout troop leader To say that the two have formed a special bond would be fair “He’s been in Scouts since first grade,” said Tyler Keyes’ mother Peters first met Tyler Keyes when he enrolled his own son in the Scouts and Tyler was one of the kids in that group," Peters explained and there was a group of six of them that were going to be coming up together.” Jennifer Keyes recalled the day she brought Tyler to sign up for Scouts and noticed a sign at the Rod and Gun Club that registration for the program was open She thought that the experience might be good for her son by providing socialization and skills development “He thought that was the coolest thing," Keyes said “Within about a month and a half I ended up taking over leadership of the den," Peters explained "So Tyler has gone up in the Scouts with me.” “Each rank is a set of requirements,” said Peters “Once you complete that set of requirements and have a scout master meeting then they decide that you've earned all your requirements the progression becomes more of a process with the introduction of the Board of Review The Board of Review is typically comprised of 3-6 committee members who interview the scout about their progress and understanding of the requirements of the rank that they seek This conversation allows the Board of Review the opportunity to fully evaluate the experience and aspirations of the individual – and ensure that they’ve fully met the requirements for advancement an individual must go through a similar process conducted by a council or district committee and the process consists of an even more in-depth and rigorous process the decision of the council or district committee members must be unanimous I kind of had a connection with him that way.” Peters recalled the ups and downs of the process of advancement There were times when Tyler Keyes would be “down on himself a little bit;” then He was doing his best to see things through and I would see him overcome certain obstacles,” reminisced Peters adding that one of the greatest challenges for Keyes was to learn how to be comfortable with speaking out in public because that's what the scouting program does,” said Peters “Eventually it turns you into someone who will be good with public speaking will get up in front of somebody and do these things And once he became patrol leader and senior patrol leader he got this confidence behind him and then the ball just started rolling faster and he came up with a really good solid Eagle Project – and he just really snowballed from there.” and I’ve seen the massive change the program can do for a youth like Tyler It's just an amazing thing,” acknowledged Peters “Tyler is the first of the group who has become an Eagle Scout I was completely thrilled that he made it all the way to the end and that all of his hard work really paid off I know what kind of hard work he put through I know what he overcame with his shyness and stuff like that “When Tyler is at a function with the rest of the scouts now he's always out there trying to make sure that the other scouts in the group are having a good time and that things are moving along,” continued Peters “That wasn't the case when he first started off.” BBA’s Unified Basketball Program is a Special Olympics-style sports initiative that brings students together on the same team for practices and competitions It is designed to promote social inclusion and foster friendships across the spectrum of physical and intellectual abilities and provide a place of belonging and community for all involved they just had Battle of the Bands and he usually is out helping make the announcements and stuff,” said Jennifer Keyes As for whether Scouts helped Tyler achieve all that she had hoped Jennifer Keyes’ friend Anita Sheldon has watched Tyler grow and change over the years Tyler was always eager to dive in and learn something new,” said Sheldon “even when it pushed him beyond his comfort zone Scouts provided Tyler with great opportunities many times pushing him to complete tasks he otherwise wouldn’t have done It was an honor to attend Tyler’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor Witnessing the once timid scout stand on stage years later in front of 30+ people and effectively deliver a speech to his peers as the most recent Eagle Scout in Troop 332 was inspirational and heartwarming Keyes will be graduating from Burr and Burton Academy this June though he still has to decide what path he will pursue afterwards One thing that is for certain is that he enjoys filmmaking Peters is also hopeful that Keyes will secure a position at Mount Norris Scout Reservation in Eden Vermont for the Scout’s upcoming summer camp “He's perfect for the role – he's just perfect for it Those interested in learning more about Scouts

Children pediatric orthopedic surgeon Sean Keyes, DO, Katelyn Smith, PA-C and their team performed their 100th bridge-enhanced anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair (BEAR®) procedure the first pediatric team in the country to reach this milestone “As both a pediatric sports medicine specialist and father of four athletic kids I know how devastating a torn ACL can be,” shares Dr carrying a high risk of re-injury and leading to long-term arthritis our goal is to make ACL healing more reliable It offers our patients a more natural solution that works with their bodies as they continue growing.” Pioneering New BEAR Implant Surgical Approaches to Improve Patient Outcomes Keyes and his team have been refining their surgical approach for the BEAR procedure developing new techniques with the goal of enhancing outcomes for pediatric patients “We also now perform our BEAR implant procedures arthroscopically using an even smaller incision,” says Dr “This evolved from our two-anchor technique.” Keyes and Smith changed the way they deliver the BEAR implant “The BEAR implant is a bovine collagen sponge about the size of a packing peanut It starts off hardened and when injected with autologous whole blood softens and forms a stable blood clot,” explains Dr we made an incision to open the knee and place the implant into the knee after hydrating it Now we cut the implant and place it in a syringe along with the patient’s whole blood mixing the two outside the body before injecting the combined gelatin-like substance into the knee This allows us to use a much smaller incision and achieve more accurate delivery The innovation has helped make the procedure minimally invasive and more efficient.” Educating the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Community on BEAR Additional Research and the Future of BEAR Research on the BEAR implant has continued since its De Novo approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2020 The device is currently indicated for skeletally mature patients at least 14 years of age with a complete rupture of the ACL as confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Patients must have an ACL stump of at least 1 cm attached to the tibia to facilitate the restoration and it is recommended that the BEAR device be implanted within 50 days of injury is further evaluating the effectiveness of the BEAR implant “We’re working with the FDA to expand the age indications for BEAR to eliminate the lower age limit and include our younger patients,” says Dr “We also hope to expand its usage to encompass partial ACL tears we’re excited

Fame8/2/2024 10:23:00 AM | Baseball Eight Boilermaker greats will be inducted and honored during the Purdue-Oregon football game (Oct Governor Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta staged a press conference on an almond farm in rural Keyes last week to announce they are suing the Trump Administration over the issue of tariffs Such a lawsuit has little chance of succeeding since tariffs are a federal matter and the Trade Act of 1974 grants the president authority to negotiate trade agreements and adjust tariffs while also creating mechanisms to protect U.S Last week’s presser was seen by critics as more of a political move as Newsom eyes the White House in 2028 Bonta bragged about filing the state’s 14th lawsuit against Trump and said: “We’re here because President Trump’s rogue and erratic tariffs are wreaking havoc on our nation’s financial systems and causing uniquely immense harm to California’s economy the fifth largest economy in the world and a major driver of our national economy.” Bonta claims the president “unlawfully imposed under the international emergency economic powers act We asking the court to rein in the president President Trump has justified the tariffs or threats of them to even the lopsided trade deficit Many countries charge excessive tariffs to sell American products abroad A White House official slammed the Newsom/Bonta lawsuit and defended the tariff plan “Instead of focusing on California’s rampant crime Gavin Newsom is spending his time trying to block President Trump’s historic efforts to finally address the national emergency of our country’s persistent goods trade deficits,” noted White House spokesperson Kush Desai “The entire Trump administration remains committed to addressing this national emergency that’s decimating America’s industries and leaving our workers behind with every tool at our disposal Bonta said Trump tariffs of 145 percent caused a retaliatory tariff of 125 percent on U.S goods “including on California nuts and dairy products.” “California is the nation’s largest importer and second largest exporter the largest when it comes to agricultural exports California agricultural exports brough in nearly $24 billion Canada and China happen to be our biggest trade partners Over 40% of California’s imports come from those three countries and they are our top three export destinations buying close to $67 billion in California exports…vendors have warned us that they’re going to pass the cost of Trump’s tariffs onto the state of California but Trump’s tariffs are truly terrible for business and they are breaking the law,” said Bonta Newsom and Bonta announced they are filing a lawsuit against Trump in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California challenging the legality of the tariffs he imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act The act enables a president to freeze and block transactions in response to foreign threats but doesn’t allow the president to adopt tariffs The lawsuit also argues that enacting such tariffs requires approval from Congress Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse,” said Bonta “It’s Congress’ responsibility to set and collect taxes much less authorized imposing tariffs only to increase them causing our nation and the global economy whiplash.” Newsom said that California is taking the lead on filing a lawsuit on the legality of the tariffs because they are “especially harmful” to the Golden State Christine Gemperle said she and her brother Erich who co-own and operate Gemperle Orchards just outside of Keyes have been through a lot over the last 27 years But they claim what they now face is just as bad and possibly worse “We are lucky enough to live in one of the few places on this planet that have the perfect climate soils and water infrastructure to support growing a highly nutritious crop almonds… Global markets rely on us to provide almonds But tariffs have the ability to disrupt those relationships that have been built We rely on those same global markets to supply us with materials we need to build farm equipment Will we be able to access what we need to grow our crops Because seasons determine when crops are planted and harvested we do not have the luxury to wait years for factories to be built regardless of all the scientific and engineering advances The last thing we need is more uncertainty…,” said Gemperle “The president is yet again acting as if he’s above the law overriding Congress’ authority and breaching the separation of powers Trump does not have the authority to impose these tariffs saying: “The president can’t do unlawful things It’s really that simple and he thinks he’s above the law He thinks he can violate the Constitution and the law And so it’s up to us to hold him accountable to following the law and in any court where we will get what courts give a fair and objective hearing a full review of the facts of complete analysis of the law we believe will be successful and we believe that in this case The announcement comes days after Newsom asked countries to exempt California exports from retaliatory tariffs He also launched a tourism campaign to entice Canadian visitors to California this week – Kristina Hacker and Jeff Benziger contributed to this report ‘Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls’ Details a

Keyes, professor of ethnomusicology and global jazz studies and chair of the African American studies department, was recently awarded the silver medal in the Global Music Awards for her “Sundiata Keita Overture.” The overture received its world premiere in Royce Hall on June 5 during a multimedia event, “Prelude to Juneteenth.” Keyes’s “Sundiata Overture” tells the story of Sundiata Keita (Soon-JA-ta Kae-EE-ta) the founder of the Malian Empire in the thirteenth century We sat down with Cheryl Keyes to talk about her inspiration for the overture Where did you first encounter the story of Sundiata Keita After graduating from Jacobs School of Music [at Indiana University-Bloomington] I pursued my doctorate degree in Folklore-Ethnomusicology there  I always wanted to study music of the African Diaspora  African Americans trace their lineage to this area in Africa I encountered Sundiata when studying Bambara I studied African folklore as part of my Ph.D and that was where I first encountered the Epic of Sundiata Keita Sundiata’s story was told by the “griot” or bards They are the ones who celebrate his legacy through the oral tradition I came across the Epic while studying Bambara because the teachers were familiar with Sundiata’s legacy Sundiata is known as the founder of the Mali Empire (c Keita is the surname inherited by those from the royal family training] really wanting to study the women bards and it ended up becoming the beginning of my understanding the elements of poetic nuance and the role of the word and language and meaning and power as it traveled across the Atlantic [with the African diaspora] and continues to permeate and transform into other traditions and newer forms that is a continuum of West African aesthetic practices the griot tradition gets carried on in African American culture Your Sundiata Overture has a very distinctive theme I carried that melody with me for a long time The melody has been in your head since graduate school one influence is the African musical tradition and improvisation who was the jazz clarinetist and educator at Southern University Film music also influenced my aesthetic choices Composers like John Williams and the great Bernard Herrmann If I were ever asked to compose a film score of Sundiata’s epic my overture could definitely serve as a template There are three themes in the Sundiata Overture The first theme is called the “gait,” because Sundiata was born physically challenged and bassoon capture the melo-rhythmic groove prior to the melody performed by the strings There is some interesting instrumentation as well One does hear instruments emulating two of those performed by griot musicians of Mali and translated by instruments in a traditional orchestra: the kora which is a harp-lute is performed by the harp and the balafon, which sounds like and is performed similarly to the marimba Sundiata’s and his family are forced into exile by his nemesis  The second theme in my overture is called “in a pensive state,” and is about Sundiata’s  exile period in which he strategizes how to recapture Mali from the clutches of Sumamuru  The third theme is called “victory dance” celebrating Sundiata’s triumph and return to Mali signified by the intro melody of the balafon What are your future plans for the Sundiata Overture given that the world premiere of Sundiata Keita Overture just won a silver medal from the Global Music Awards I remain hopeful that it will be performed by more orchestras across the world especially because it demonstrates just how deep the cultural roots of African Americans really are © 2025 UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music Site Design by Kley, Inc
