These are a few of my favourite things
To Derham Groves, his bow ties are much more than mere dandy's neckwear. They are artifacts,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], curios, cultural signifiers and . . . butterflies.
As he lays out his collection of 200,[url=http://kevindurantshoes5forsale.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant shoes for sale[/b][/url], carefully, one by one,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]Cheap Roger Vivier Shoes Sale Store[/b][/url], it becomes clear that a bow tie alone is a small, bland item, but from a large bank of them, arranged symmetrically, curious,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats online store[/b][/url], beautiful patterns emerge. When Groves surveys his strange collection he sees a kaleidoscope of butterflies on the wing.
Soon, the bow ties will be exhibited in the Melbourne Museum. This is ideal. It further boosts his whole entomological theory about them. The classic museum exhibit, after all, is a collection of butterflies arranged neatly in a glass cabinet.
"At first glance,[url=http://peutereyjacket.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket With for sale[/b][/url]," he says, "when they are in the museum,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]Roger Vivier Shoes Sale[/b][/url], people might actually think they are butterflies. I have certainly always thought of them like that. They really are so much alike. There's a very strong visual link."
Groves' bow ties will be exhibited as part of the Community Collections program, which begins next month. It's part of the Museum's 150th anniversary celebrations. Around 50 other personal collections will be exhibited,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti wedding shoes Shop Designer Wedding Shoes Online[/b][/url], for a week each, until August, including ashtrays, mulga wood, confectionary packaging, meccano, kitchenalia, Odd Spots from The Age, tin tobacco containers, sneakers, Barbie dolls, Gerry Gee dolls, shearers' hand pieces and postcards.
"We want to unearth all the little museums out there in peoples' houses," says Melbourne Museum manager of visitor programs Margaret Griffith. "They can use our museum as their display area."
Each collection will be displayed according to the collector's wishes. The collectors themselves - an eccentric, idiosyncratic bunch, in the main, and by nature slightly obsessive - will host their hoardings in person and address Museum visitors about what their particular "thing" means.
"I'm at the point now," says Groves, "where I can say 'OK, I've got all these items, these things, I wear them occasionally,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatswithfreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]http://cheapsoccercleatswithfreeshipping.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and at one stage wore them a lot, OK, what next? What does it mean? Do I write something about them? Do I exhibit them somewhere?' If you collect something it has to have a life. It's best if it's not squirrelled away. Collecting isn't about looking at one, it's about looking at 100. It's the collection that matters.
"The bow ties," he says, "well,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka[/b][/url], they deserve to be out there."
Dr Derham Groves,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica[/b][/url], 47, of West Brunswick,[url=http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/][b]http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/[/b][/url], is an architect. This should come as no surprise. Everyone knows architects love bow ties.
Groves collects clip-on bow ties only, however; the more kitsch version of the tie-up bow tie. He has encountered some snobbery to do with this, which only spurred him on.
Groves considers clip-ons cool, however, especially for an architect. "The whole notion of something clipped on is very architectural, especially from that era. There was that industrial, clip-on aesthetic.
"You'd think clip-ons would have some sort of attraction to architects,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland[/b][/url]," he says,[url=http://peutereyjacket.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Christina for sale[/b][/url], "but clearly there's a snobbery."
His theory about why a certain generation of architects wear bow ties is based on practicality,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica Femme online shop[/b][/url], not fashion. If you're sitting drawing a desk, he says, you don't want a tie dangling in your work. Bow ties don't dangle.
But then again, he says "architects fancy themselves as being fashionable and flamboyant and a little bit quirky perhaps, so it was the traditional attire." Not so much these days though, he adds. Young architects seem to favour a uniform of basic black. Often with a skivvy and shaved head.
Groves is a senior lecturer in architecture at the University of Melbourne. He has written books on feng shui, letterboxes, Chinese temples and television. He also collects anything to do with Sherlock Holmes and operates a small printing press from his home. Clip-on bow ties, however, from the period 1956-66,[url=http://parajumpersparkamen.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers Jacket Outlet Online[/b][/url], became an obsession when he started collecting them six years ago.
"I've stopped being quite as manic about it now. I went through a period where I would regularly look for them. His collection is housed at his home in several small boxes. Originally he wanted 365 - one for every day of the year. He's settled for around 200. And they still get worn; perhaps the blue-and-white polka dots for a more formal, sombre affair, or the one emblazoned with fishing hooks for a more left field approach. Groves even has a bizarre bow tie decorated with battleaxes.
