christchurch | memorial + resilience + colour


Not far from the site of the CCTV building devastation; 
a poignant and arresting installation of '185 chairs' rest.







The work, by Pete Majendie, pays silent homage to those who lost their lives in the earthquake of February 2011.


This is the installation's second place of repose and is well sited to take in the construction of the Cardboard Cathedral.

The principal driver behind this work is the indomitable Shigeru Ban and I for one, am pleased there is such a display of Christchurch's resilience being carried out.


I look forward to a moment of reflection within what I'm sure will be an exquisite condition of light.



Not far away, in the thick of the concrete jungle, Ash Keating is bringing some serious colour into play with his work concrete propositions.






henceforth...
