A famous Czech artist was approached about doing a design with children for Townshend school, like she had done for a local town... she declined as her daughter had recently passed away and doing another sculpture of a child was too sensitive for her. The school invited her to come see Townshend anyway. After she came and observed the students and experienced the school vision and spirit, she decided to create a sculpture, for free, for what she saw as the spirit of the school..... i think she got it right on.czech out the picts... http://www.flickr.com/photos/26080359@N08/sets/
just like that spooky house in Esquimalt, every year a new child is added to statue, and every year a local village child disapears...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculpture/statue! Its probably been nice to settle in a place for a little longer than a week at a time; and to be surrounded by lots of Baha'is and feeling useful... not just as tourists.
