The Slate Circles

 

Throughout 2005, Art Matters constructed slate circles in the grounds of local schools, hospitals and business's, including Pfizer, Kuoni and UnumProvident. This work marked World Environment Day in June; its journey continues, allowing continuity of its good intentions and its global message.

 

These art circles have become environmental, organic community links, bringing together health, education, art and business.

 

When the slate is removed from the grass, bands of yellow and green remain as a ghost image. Over time the yellow 'heals', returning to lush green, reflecting the planets ability to self-heal.

 

The circles also represent wholeness, reminders of the interdependence of pysical and mental wellbeing in maintaining good health.

 

The project is documented, with many hundreds of photographs. Some of these were exhibited at the Mental Health Today Event at the Design Centre in Islington in October.

 

Art Matters thanks everyone involved in this project for their enthusiasm and commitment.
