I dream of a world where love is the answer | exploring the restorative powers of love and community

This collaborative project gathers together a worldwide circle of women, and two good men, joining hearts and hands for mending our beautiful broken world. It began with the gift of an original 1950´s Australian wedding dress. I cut the bodice and skirt material into 45 pennants and made a call out for anyone interested in stitching their hopes and dreams on June 30th, 2017.
The pennants were all spoken for by the next day, for those who missed out I made a call for making small talismans of love and protection for our world.

Making art as an act of reverence, a magic spell cast into the world to heal the divisions, mend the desecration and bind the world with love and respect that speaks of connection, communicating a sense of how we belong to our planet, that each person has value, that each moment of reaching out has potential.
Collectively we are shining a beacon for understanding, making strong threads singing I dream of a world where love is the answer

With special thanks to my partner Rod Morgan for writing the song & helping at every step along the way, Madeleine Tuckfield-Carrano director of Artsite Contemporary Galleries for all the encouragement and excellent gallery space and to all of the artists who made this dream come true.
