We have just completed learning about a React component.
defining a class and sub-classing the React component class.
we'll learn about other kinds of React components.
every class component has a life cycle associated with it.
What exactly is a life cycle?
Let's briefly talk about that.
are connected together to form the entire screen of your React applications view.
and then added into the DOM of your entire application.
created and added into the overall React component hierarchy.
So, a component passes through what we call as the life cycle for the component.
the component can be removed from this hierarchy.
So that will be an unmounting of the component.
then unmounting, and then disappearing at the point.
or life cycle methods that can be invoked to perform certain operations.
the unmounting stage of the life cycle for your component.
there are several life cycle methods that are available in each stage.
your component is passing through these stages of its life cycle.
Let's examine some of these life cycle methods.
a component is passing through a particular stage of its lifecycle.
mounted into the overall hierarchy of the React components.
invoked when an instance of a component is created and inserted into the DOM.
when it gets mounted into the DOM at that point these methods are going to be called.
and then the view is rendered into the overall view of your application.
you might also encounter people using another method called componentWillMount.
this method has been duplicated and you're no longer advised to use this method.
From 17.0 onward this method will be completely removed from React.
So, we would desist from using this method in our React application.
then quite the render method obviously has to be used every single time.
execute something after the component gets added into the DOM.
Then the getDrivedStateFromProps will be used if required.
Although I don't have an example to illustrate that to you.
these life cycle methods indeed get called as the component is getting mounted.
when a component is being updated and also when a component is being unmounted.
on so far and in the menu component.
the constructor is already included there.
So, the constructor will be invoked when the menu component is created.
"Menu Components constructor is invoked".
So that way, you can see in the console log that this indeed was called.
this same console log and then we will use it in the render method.
So in the render method.
I'm going to also invoke that console log.
receive and this method is invoked.
these life cycle methods are indeed being called as the component is getting mounted.
our overall DOM for our React application.
you'll see that our application has been rendered just like before.
So here, I'm going to the view.
which are part of your specific browser that you are using.
menu component constructor is invoked.
as your component get mounted into your DOM by your reactor application.
or in the componentDidMount methods.
So, that is one use of the life-cycle method.
then we can include that in the componentDidMount method.
the later exercises in the last module of this course.
called as react-devtools which is available.
This is the GitHub repository for it.
if you would prefer to use it.
and then make use of it within my application.
which will enable you to check for any errors.
then you can go and check in the React developer tools.
Let me show you react-devtools for the specific application that we have been working on.
and then add it into your browser.
add the extension for Chrome, similarly for Firefox.
then you can download that and then make use of it.
and so it is more convenient for me to use the react-devtools that way.
the additional resources off this section.
I have the react-devtools installed there.
so you can see the app here.
you're going to be rendering that particular dish there.
initialized to that dish that we just selected there.
So, that's the advantage of react-devtools.
and be able to check to see if you are encountering any errors.
all these can be easily useful while you're developing your React application.
you track as you develop your React application.

Tag Ridings celebrates his birdie on the first playoff hole with his wife/caddie Brenda.
Chalk One Up for an 'Old' Guy
July 11, 2021 by Gary Baines
46-year-old Tag Ridings becomes oldest winner of Korn Ferry Tour event this season, claiming his second career KFT title — 19 years after the first — by prevailing in playoff at TPC Colorado Championship; Event draws more than 30,000 fans for the week
***For all the scores from the TPC Colorado Championship, CLICK HERE.***
A yell came out of the crowd during the sudden-death playoff that seemed like a ready-made headline.
"Tag, You're It."
Indeed, for just the second time since turning pro in 1997, Tag Ridings was "it" — if "it" means winning a PGA Tour-affiliated event.
For just the second time in 238 Korn Ferry Tour starts — and the first time since 2002, the golfer from Keller, Texas has earned a victory. And, it should be noted, Ridings also has played in 239 PGA Tour events during his career — going without a victory, but with a second place and three thirds to his credit.
And he accomplished it on Sunday at the TPC Colorado Championship at 46 — an age in which most competitors are considered has-beens at this level. But Ridings showed the "young-uns" that he still has game — and plenty of it.
Just to get into a playoff, Ridings sank a 7-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. Then to extend sudden death after Englishman David Skinns drained a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th, Ridings responded by holing an 18-foot birdie putt of his own. And — after Kevin Yu fell by the wayside in the playoff when he couldn't make a 13-foot chip-in the first time around on 16 — Ridings ended things on the second extra trip to the picturesque hole.
This time, Skinns' tee shot came up a little short and went into the deep bunker to the right of the green. After Ridings' birdie try from 30 feet went about 2 1/2 feet past the hole, Skinns' par attempt from 18 feet did a agonizing horseshoe around the cup, leaving him with bogey. And when Ridings tapped in, the victory and the $108,000 that goes with it were his.
Tag Ridings hadn't won on the Korn Ferry — or PGA — Tour since he married Brenda, who caddied for him at TPC Colorado.
The first playoff in the TPC Colorado Championship produced a champion barely younger than his two victorious predecessors' combined age (Nelson Ledesma was 28 in 2019 and Will Zalatoris 23 in 2020). In fact, Ridings is the oldest Korn Tour winner this season, which dates back to Jan. 1, 2020.
"This is probably the biggest thing I've accomplished (in his golf career), coming back from such a huge hole and the way my game was going," Ridings said. "I can't say it was completely gone because at every tournament I'd hit good golf shots. I didn't go on a huge missed-cut streak, but I was finishing 70th every time I made the cut. You don't make money doing that. It's just been a stretch of trying to stay in there, pay the house bills, and keep going."
Indeed, this is Ridings' first top-10 of a season that dates back more than 18 months. In fact, before Sunday, he'd notched just two top-35 finishes in his first 31 starts this season.
Ridings' only previous victory on the Korn Ferry Tour came in the 2002 Permian Basin Open, where he also won in a playoff, beating Mark Hensby when he holed a pitching wedge from 138 yards for eagle in extra holes.
As Ridings noted, his wife Brenda, who caddied for him at TPC Colorado, wasn't even a girlfriend back when he won in 2002.
"We met six months after that win," the former University of Arkansas golfer said. "It's really special because there have been some rough weeks, rough off weeks — very downtrodden on morale and how my game was.
David Skinns couldn't believe it when his long par attempt horseshoed out on him on the second playoff hole.
"Everybody knows out here that golfers make fun of me because I'm rebuilding my golf clubs about every three weeks and trying and tinkering with stuff. My nickname is probably 'Lead Tape' because I've got lead tape all over my clubs and I'm moving it every day. It just makes all that grind worth it — staying up late, glueing clubs, all that, just because I can't sleep because I want to do something so bad to make them understand I can support (the family) doing this. It is the greatest feeling. I've stayed awake at night hoping to win a tournament while my (three) kids were alive. This is huge."
On a day in which at one time four players were tied for the lead while playing the final three holes of regulation, Ridings, Skinns and Yu all matched 16-under-par 272 totals, bettering the 15-under-par winning totals of the last two TPC Colorado Championships.
Yu, a golfer from Chinese Taipei making just his fourth KFT start, had a 7-foot par putt on the 72nd hole that would have won him the tournament, but he missed it left.
Kevin Yu could have won the tournament in regulation, but missed a 7-foot par attempt on the 72nd hole.
Skinns closed with a 7-under-par 65 — Sunday's best score — and one that included eight birdies. Yu had a 67 and Ridings a 68 that featured four straight birdies early in the round.
Two players — 54-hole co-leader Tyson Alexander and Taylor Pendrith — finished a stroke out of the playoff. In all, nine players ended up between 13 and 16 under par.
In sudden death, Ridings admitted he would not have converted his birdie putt on the first extra hole had Skinns not previously drained his along a similar line.
"There's no way I make that putt on the first hole of the playoff if David hadn't already made his," Ridings said. "I've been lagging it up there all day on those curving putts and not getting them to the hole. I had that putt in regulation and left it a foot and a half short, and had to work to make it in regulation. I just had an opportunity to hit one firm and in the back of the cup. That really helped me make that putt. I can't wait to see the replay. I think I was like a shark; my eyes were closed when it went in."
Given that so many twentysomethings win on the Korn Ferry Tour, Ridings was asked if he was confident that he could still win at his age.
"No, I was not confident I could still do it," he said. "Four days in a row is not as easy as it once was. … To do four rounds, four days on these legs, I was really happy.
"I was never a blue-chipper, never a good top-end player at any level. I always won a tournament here and there. People would remember, 'Oh yeah, he can play.' But I was never something, 'Oh, watch out for that Ridings.' That was never really said. … For me to turn pro and have the gall to think I could make it was just pure … I didn't allow myself another option. There have been some options creeping into my mind for the last year. But I push them away, and here we are. I can push them away a lot farther now."
There were plenty of people on hand this week at TPC Colorado.
TPC Colorado Championship Draws Tournament-Record 30,000-Plus Fans for the Week: Two years ago, after the inaugural TPC Colorado Championship, the Korn Ferry Tour named it its "Best Product" of 2019 after the tournament drew an estimated 20,000 fans for the week to TPC Colorado.
After the general public wasn't allowed to attend last year's event due to Covid-19 safety concerns — though plenty of members watched from the clubhouse — the TPC Colorado Championship bounced back with a bang this week.
Tournament organizers said more than 30,000 people attended the third annual tournament — and the event appeared to be a hit for players and spectators alike.
"Given everything about this stop, it's easily a top-5 venue on our tour," said Tom Whitney, an Air Force Academy graduate who lived in nearby Fort Collins until 2017. "A 65,000-square-foot clubhouse, the fact that they have practice facilities big enough to host us. We have the freedom to work on what we need to work on. The food is good. The people are nice. We had 700 volunteers — the most out of any tournament out there.
"I don't see a lot of guys skipping this event in the future, especially as it gets better (and) they find a title sponsor."
Added fellow competitor Taylor Montgomery this weekend: "This is the best Korn Ferry event of the year, in my opinion — by far. Golf course-wise, practice facilities, stuff like that. The course is in phenomenal shape. When you miss a putt, you either mis-read it or mis-hit it."
Champion Tag Ridings will third that notion.
"This is a great event," he said. "They do it right here."
Asked specifically about the size of the crowds this week, Whitney said, "It was fun to see all the people out here. This is by far the biggest crowd we've seen come out (to a KFT event) since Covid hit us. It was nice to see a lot of friends, family and strangers out there watching."
All of which is music to the ears of TPC Colorado Championship tournament director Drew Blass.
"It's something special," he said regarding the turnout this week. "Everybody's been working hard to have this opportunity. Seeing the community all be together, saying we're going to be out here supporting (the tournament) — and all the activities out here — it was an incredible week, something special. We look to build on it."
Taylor Montgomery, whose family has roots in Grand Junction, finished 22nd on Sunday.
'Local' Contingent Report: Taylor Montgomery — whose dad Monte was a standout golfer in Grand Junction, winning a state high school title and three Rocky Mountain Opens — made a bit of a run on the front nine on Sunday, moving to within three of the leader after being 2 under for his first five holes of the day.
The Las Vegas product was derailed, however, by a double-bogey 6 at the ninth hole. He went on to shoot an even-par 72 on Sunday, dropping him to a 22th-place finish after starting the day in 11th.
"I felt like I played really good, but the score obviously doesn't reflect it," he said regarding Sunday's round. "I just kept hitting it into the worst spots possible. Even when I thought I hit good drives, they ended up bad. Little things today proved costly.
"I'm pretty frustrated. I feel like I'm playing great and just not getting anything out of it. So I've just got to play better."
Montgomery who stood in 28th place in the Korn Ferry Tour season-long point standings coming into the Colorado stop, improved to 27th on Sunday after checking in at 9-under-par 279. He's trying to finish in the top 25 at the end of the regular season on Aug. 15, which would earn him a PGA Tour card for 2021-22.
AFA grad Tom Whitney closed with a 69 to tie for 42nd on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Tom Whitney had his best round of the week — a 3-under-par 69 on Sunday — to post his top finish in three tries at the TPC Colorado Championship, placing 42ndat 6-under-par 282. A 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 14th capped a four-birdie, one-bogey day on Sunday.
"It was a very solid ball-striking week," he said. "Unfortunately, the putter sort of lagged behind. I was easily top 15-20 percent in overall full-swing, driving, approaches, all that (compared to the field). I was never really out of position. Four of my bogeys came from three-putts during the week. I had a lot of good looks and unfortunately not many makes."
Cheyenne native Josh Creel, who made the cut for the first time at TPC Colorado, placed 67thon Sunday after a closing 72 left him at 287. He double bogeyed the 773-yard 13th hole in the final round.
How all the players with strong local connections are faring at the TPC Colorado Championship:
42. Tom Whitney (former Air Force Academy golfer and former Fort Collins resident) 70-70-73-69–282
67. Josh Creel (Cheyenne native) 69-73-73-72–287
Chris Korte (Littleton resident and former DU golfer) 75-69—144
George Cunningham (Boulder County native) 75-70–145
Andrew Svoboda (former Golden resident) 71-76–147
David Duval (Cherry Hills Village resident) 76-74–150

Up, Down and All Around
Local Tour Roundup


Doctors, hospitals, and medical providers in general all owe a duty to their patients which must meet a minimum standard of care. A standard of care is the reasonable degree of prudence exercised by a medical provider in tending to a patient. In the medical world, such standards may be measured against treatment and care standards across the medical industry in a particular state or jurisdiction. There may also be published guides to care and treatment that doctor or hospitals commit to abide by.
This standard of care also includes a medical provider's duty to inform patients of particular risks with a medication or a certain procedure, for example. A failure to disclose the risk could result in malpractice liability if the patient were to get hurt and claims he or she would not have opted for a particular course of treatment if they were aware of the risks. In general, plaintiffs must demonstrate that a standard of care was breached as an element to their overall malpractice claim.
The relatively recent case of Hunter v. Amin provides a distinct example of a medical provider's standard of care and how the plaintiff believed the provider breached his duty by failing to meet that standard. In Hunter, an inmate, Stanley Bell, who suffered from bipolar disorder was taking anti-depressants and an antihistamine for his anxiety. The defendant doctor was a psychiatrist employed by the jail who took on Bell as a patient. When Bell refused to go on with a particular session until a jail officer left the room, the defendant psychiatrist threatened to withhold his medications unless he participated in the session with the officer present. Bell also refused to sign a waiver requested by the psychiatrist which would release him from any liability for Bell's refusal to participate in the psychiatry session, but Bell refused to do that as well. Within two days, without his medications, Bell committed suicide.
Bell's sister sued the psychiatrist for malpractice, alleging he failed to meet the standard of care in treating her brother when he withheld the medications. The trial court found that Bell's complete refusal to participate in the session effectively excused the psychiatrist from any duty of care since the inmate, as the patient, refused to accept any treatment in the form of his weekly session. The psychiatrist was therefore no longer under any duty of care, and a malpractice suit could not move forward.
An appeals court, however, found that there was in fact a remaining duty between the psychiatrist and Bell during that session. The court found stated there was no evidence to say that engaging in the weekly session was a prerequisite for receiving medications that were previously prescribed to Bell, and that the psychiatrist had previously prescribed medications to him without an actual exam or session. Therefore, the psychiatrist's discontinuing of the antidepressant medication was in fact a breach of the duty of competent care that did still exist between the doctor and patient. The case was remanded back to the lower court for trial.
The appeals court's decision stands as an interesting example of how complicated it can be to determine when a duty of care attaches between a medical provider and patient. In bringing forth a malpractice suit, this can often be the most challenging element to prove.

DCLM Daily Manna 30 January 2019 Message: Polycarp, who lived in the first generation after the apostles, was born in Smyrna and later became the bishop of the city. He was the last survivor of those who had talked with the eyewitnesses of Jesus. As a very old man, he was arrested, tried and condemned. When asked to renounce his faith in Christ, he replied, "Eighty-six years have I served him and he hath done me no wrong. How can I speak evil of my King who saved me? He was set ablaze. But the flames refused to consume him, he was killed with the sword and then burned.
DCLM Daily Manna 30 January 2019 Devotional was written by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi; is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church situated at KM 42 on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Nigeria.


Here's what I do to determine how much I would pay for a rental property. And of course, needless to day, I would want to come to a price that is below market price (see my previous Blog on the importance of buying below market price).
Firstly, I would want to figure out roughly what the market price is: and for this I want to know, what the transacted prices are and also what the owners are currently asking for.
To find out what the transacted prices are, I would check with a few valuers, but be aware that these prices may be 6 months to 1 year old, as there is a lag in the data they compile. For the asking prices, it's quite easy to find out through checking with a few real estate agents, and also the owners directly. But note that these prices tend to be higher than what's actually transacted eventually as they tend to price it higher their asking price. Plus, owners would normally price in the commission that they pay to the agent, which can be 2-3% of purchase price depending on their arrangement.
Secondly, I would like to find out what the properties in the area are renting out for. For instance, what would a basic 3R 2B unit be renting out for? What's the difference in pricing for these units on different floors? Are there any particular blocks that are more in demand? (because they are nearer to the shops / public transport like LRT). What about the rental for smaller units? And the less desired units? (could be because it's further away from the basic amenities). You can find out this sort of information out by asking a few agents who farm in the area. Just record down the information you collect in a note book for review later. But, I normally would discount the prices they give by say, 5-10% as agents tend to inflate the prices a little.
The next thing, now that you have the estimated market price of the property and also what it can rent out for, you can work out what your yield is.
The yield is calculated as the annual rental income divided by the price. So, let's say that gross rental income for a 3R 3B unit is RM600 per month, and the asking price is RM100k, the gross yield is 7.2% p.a. (assuming that you are able to rent it out, for all 12 months in a year – i.e. no vacancies).
You should also calculate the net yield – which is the gross yield less the costs related to running the property like, maintenance, quit rent, etc. So, if your costs is RM50 per month, then your net rental income would be, RM550 (or RM6, 600 per year) which gives a net yield of 6.6% instead.
The next question is: whether you are happy to purchase the property given the yields? In this example, buying a RM100k property for a gross yield of 7.2% per annum? Or 6.6% net yield. Note: that there are some costs which can be controlled (which can improve your net yield) like how much you spend to maintain the property like repainting, and others.
At this stage I would take stock of how much I can finance my property for also, and hence how much my monthly installment would be. As indicated earlier, your rental income must always more than cover your installment for the deal to be worthwhile.
Once, I am satisfied with my estimate of the rental income i.e. it can be verified, and more than cover my installments, I work out how much I would pay for that property. I do this by working backwards to arrive at a price which I am comfortable with. So, let's say I want a minimum 8% gross yield, I would need to purchase the property at RM90k (RM7, 200 divided by 0.08). And, if I want a gross yield of 7.5%, then the price would be roughly RM95k. So, effectively I establish a price range for the property I am looking to buy.
Of course, the other way to improve your yield is by increasing the rental income; but there are limitations to this, as you don't set the rental, the market does. I would normally err on the conservative side when it comes to estimating rental income, and place more emphasis on being able to buy them at below market price from motivated sellers. You make money in property when you buy, so the lower the price that you pay, the more chances you have of making money, in terms of the yield you get (and also from capital appreciation in the long-run).
Next: we will discuss the importance of your Return on Cash in finding the right rental property.


no selection (Miracle System) came 6th, Jimmy Byrne (Best Lay bet of the Day) came 10th! http://www.stopatawinner.co.uk/ won on tip 2.
http://www.Bismarx.com won on the second tip.
We have lost Leicester because of bad weather so have two AW's today although Wolverhampton is mainly Banded stakes which in my book are harder than maidens to predict.
It is very difficult to predict the sp of any horse because there are many things that can affect the price especially on the exchanges, and you will often see the first 3 horses in the betting, on a roller coaster ride.
If you have all day to bet then you can take advantage of these up and downs, by watching the amount of money being bet for or against a selection.
On Betfair clicking on the horses name will bring up a graph which represents the price movement, since the betting was opened on the event. It is quite easy to see if the price is going up or down or staying relatively calm.
As I have already said to predict what is going to happen next is quite difficult but at least with this information you can get some idea of what may happen next.
Form a lay perspective if the price looks to be on the way up it is a good sign, but you may want to place your whole stake before it gets any higher, the opposite may be true for a backer and if the price is dropping then the reverse is true of both.
If the price looks as if it is going up and down then another strategy is to place some of your stake immediately, and then keep an eye on the price to see if you could make further bets, at the top or bottom of the ride at the prices that best suit you.
Because people on the exchanges have different reasons for betting on horses then if you have the time it is always worth asking for a lower lay price or higher back price, you will be amazed how often you get a match, especially nearer the off, as there will be traders trying to equalize their profits or safe themselves from a loss and will often take what they can get!
In running is another area that you can find good prices, but you have to be quick and it is easier if you have a programme like bet-pal with one click betting to help.
2 in latest winning run.
Notes - Using the betting exchanges, find the odds available for the selections, and place your stakes so that you return the same profit if any of the above selections win the race.
29.00% ROI - Should only be between these 3, John Robie being the deserved favourite.

Backpackers may finally be getting some respect – at least from an economic standpoint.
Young people are traveling more, staying away for longer periods of time and spending more money, a new report indicates.
In 2012, $217 billion of the $1.088 trillion tourism "spend" worldwide came from young travelers, an increase that vastly outstripped that of other international travelers, according to a new study of youth and student travel released by Amsterdam-based World Youth Student and Educational Travel Confederation. Young travelers now represent 20 per cent of international tourism, making the group an important economic force.
The WYSE Travel Confederation called the report "the largest and most comprehensive survey ever undertaken for the youth travel sector." The study, released in September, updated research initially conducted in 2002 and later in 2007, and looked at why, how and where young people travel and included survey responses from more than 34,000 young travelers from 137 countries.
"With young people traveling further, staying away for longer, spending more, keeping in touch more and integrating with overseas communities on a scale not seen before, the industry is becoming far broader than ever before," he added.
At a time of rising youth unemployment and global economic austerity, more young people than ever before are traveling to gain work, educational and cultural experiences, while those traveling purely for leisure has fallen from over 75 percent in 2007 to just 47 percent.
More young travelers are "shunning the traditional sun, sea and sand holidays" to improve their resumes. According to the report, 22 percent of young travelers want to learn a language, 15 percent want to gain work experience, and 15 percent travel to study – all significantly up from 2007.
Student spending has increased by 40 percent since 2007 despite the global economic climate, with young travelers requesting more varied services.
The age demographic of people identifying themselves as youth travelers has broadened.
Young travelers are spending longer periods of time abroad; the number of trips more than 60 days has increased over the last five years.
Youth travel is not all about budget accommodation; there has been a significant rise in travelers identifying themselves as more up-scale 'flashpackers,' backpackers who travel with lap tops, smart phones and other high tech gear and who tend to have heftier budgets than traditional backpackers.
Hostels have overtaken hotels as the most popular form of accommodation; they are adapting to meet the demands of modern youth travelers and increasing the variety of services they offer.
The places that young people are traveling to are changing; they are spending less time in major gateway cities and are exploring more remote destinations than previously.
More young people are living abroad.
More young travelers now aim to 'live like a local' when they travel abroad by immersing themselves in local cultures.
Crime, identified as the main barrier to travel by survey respondents, has sharply increased from 14 percent in 2007 to 24 percent.

Q: Bostock's d3 Object Constancy example: what is effect of d3.transition().each? Complete fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/scottbrown0001/o7qL4dpr/
I'm trying to emulate Mike Bostock's object constancy example https://bost.ocks.org/mike/constancy/, and I can't figure out what is selected by the each() on his line line 133:
function change() {
  clearTimeout(timeout);

  d3.transition()
    .duration(altKey ? 7500 : 750)
    .each(redraw);
  }

I'm using what seems like the same construction in my fiddle example, and while it does seem to get the transition effect to run I don't see the slower duration. In general, what does this construct d3.transition.each() select in concrete specifics? It seems like it may be some kind of "master transition", but I can't see how the each() iteration is working. I must have some key difference but I don't see it.

A: Much like in your other question, this is something that has a lot to do with d3 v3 vs d3 v4. You will not be able to reproduce the behaviour with this code in v4
Have a look at this section of the d3 v4 release notes where mbostock addresses the changes in transition.each :

This method replaces the deeply magical behavior of transition.each in 3.x; in 4.0, transition.each is identical to selection.each

In v3, transition.each was different as documented here : https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Transitions.md#each

[...] immediately invokes the specified function for each element in the current transition, passing in the current datum d and index i, with the this context of the current DOM element.

So basically the reason why it's not working the same way is that now, transition.each will loop through each element affected by the transition.

Salam Komunitas So Cal Indo!
My name is Adam de Boer and I am an American painter, with Indo ancestry, currently living and working in Los Angeles. For the past seven years I've travelled throughout Indoneisa to investigate my Eurasian heritage and surf, most recently to Yogyakarta on a yearlong Fulbright fellowship. My current work employs imagery and traditional crafts from the region as a way to connect my artistic practice with those of his distant cultural forebears.
My work invokes my Dutch-Indonesian cultural legacy to address broader themes of cultural hybridity and representations of interpersonal and international power dynamics. Growing up in a diverse community in Southern California as a first-generation American, I took my mixed-race identity for granted. Many of my generation, whose families are cultural hybrids, adapted with an almost unconscious fluidity to their new American identities. Perhaps this adaptation stemmed from the residual pains of immigration and the pressures of conformity felt by our parents. Regardless, our awareness of the grief and dislocation that birthed our multicultural identities was largely ignored as we assimilated to middle-class American life.
I've recently been endeavoring to revive the memory of my dormant cultural history and aesthetic traditions nearly erased by this assimilation. This exploration of my Indonesian heritage addresses the trauma of the Indo legacy, asking what this particular history means, and what an understanding of it could mean more broadly for contemporary global culture. For the past six years, I've studied the traditional crafts of my Javanese forebears— wax-resist batik, leatherwork, and wood carving—while pushing the aesthetics of these crafts beyond their traditional boundaries. I also quote from the vernacular of Java's built environment of tiled floors, volcanic stones, and bamboo walls. Through this practice, with its embodied tension between traditional handmade craft and contemporary painterly experimentation, I attempt to perform the dislocation and, ultimately, the necessary resolution, of my hybrid identity.
Using imagery informed by my Californian upbringing and education, I appropriate and mutate Javanese craft traditions, incorporating traditional designs to make hybrid representational forms. The relationship between the craft and representational elements can be viewed from different, and often conflicting, vantages. It's my intention for these conflicts to serve as a symbolic gesture toward the historical reality of the post-colonial condition. Rather than calling for a pat resolution, I hope my work encourages sustained engagement with cultural difference and injustice as an antidote to the racist and xenophobic neo-imperial agenda of late capitalism.
Please take a look at some of my work at www.adamdeboer.com.
