VENEER MAGAZINE 02/18

In 02/18 of Veneer, there are articles about Czechtek raving in 2005, a piece about a woman's mother passing and its relationship to all that was happening at CERN, the passing of a kidney stone, ceylon tea, audio by Goodiepal and Lucky Dragons, some pubs in Dublin, and perhaps the best decision we've made yet: a couple of photocopies of Robert Smithson's Ultramoderne.

The approach here was to "get earthy" with some hippy paper and inks. It's definitely warmer.

AN EXCERPT FROM "THE HISTORY OF CEYLON TEA" BY MAXWELL FERNANDO, PAGE 90:

"Sri Lanka's average mean temperature ranges from 79F to 82F in the low country and 58F to 75F in the hill country. During the heavy cropping months of March, April and May, general quality levels drop, but pick up rapidly thereafter when the Southwest monsoons blow dry. The quality of tea is affected during the wet period from November to January, due to the influence of the Northeast monsoon, as tea prefers a cool, humid climate -although cool conditions at higher altitudes could either retard growth or produce a high quality product, depending on circumstances. In Ceylon, an acre of tea in full production will draw from the soil, under normal weather conditions, about ten tons of water per day. This calls for a rainfall of about 0.1 inches per day."
