Yesterday a new art installation appeared on our corner, next to the Book Fridge.
Heart is where the Home is
This painted sculpture, titled “Heart is where the home is”, is a blue spiral which comes with an invitation to walk inside, where a surprise awaits. The artist is Judy Rogers. If you’d like to see it, it will be displayed again in the Botanic Gardens, near the restaurant, on Sunday 19 February. It’s another event hosted by the wonderful Gap Filler people, who organise creative projects on vacant sites around the city.
“This sculpture which portrays the heart
is part of the Gap Filler art.”

How intriguing. Will you tell those of us who live out of ChCh what the surprise was that awaited you, in a post in the future Ruth?
The whole thing is experiential, OG. I think you need to walk around the spiral and see it – an explanation isn’t quite the same. As the artist says: “It’s about nurturing our sense of self and wellbeing in ourselves and others.”
