 HEART IS WHERE THE HOME IS

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EVENT!

After very iffy start weather- wise, HEART IS WHERE THE HOME IS spent the afternoon at the Botanic Gardens alongside the Festival of Flowers. Lots more people came to this event and, again, people responded in ways I’d hoped, e.g. “warm” and “I felt hugged”. Many thanks to all of you!

Thanks very much to all of you who visited 

HEART IS WHERE THE HOME IS on 21 Jan and 19 Feb.

I was so pleased that plenty of people came and lots of you made comments that showed you were responding to the sculpture in the kinds of ways I hoped you would!

The sculpture is a response to the fragility of our sense of self

which can be eroded by various situations including being a migrant or refugee.

Heart is Where the Home is (and its title)

was conceived before our earthquakes of 2010 & 2011

but they certainly add resonance to its meaning.

These events will be held on two days over summer

(see dates and places above)

You are warmly invited to walk around the sculpture and into it.

It’s about nurturing sense of self and wellbeing in ourselves and others

and I hope it feels good to look at and be in it!

Many thanks to Christchurch Community Arts Council,

Gap Filler and Christchurch City Council

for making these events possible.

Following these two outings

Heart is Where the Home is

needs an indoor home where it will be accessible to the public

and someone generous to sponsor it!
