Meet, Mend, Make occurred on October 14th 2023. It was a day of reflection and action on Climate. As part of the event community members were invited to create a climate themed sculpture.
The sculpture began as a conversation about climate and consumerism, the group that came together were inspired by the materials on hand. A large sink, some natural materials and man-made materials. The concept that came together was that our capitalistic culture of consuming was being sucked into the whirlpool of the sink and then transformed into a return to the natural environment. Taking only what we need and leaving the rest.
Those viewing the work are encouraged to ponder consumer culture? How can we transform as humans to an equilibrium where the more than human world is valued and given as many rights as our own?
Artists and contributions included, Suzanne C, Junko, Paul L, Eddie B, Katherine, Joanne, Shauna, Alison B, Pippa DV and many more comments and ideas that helped guide the work.
