The Brain Project 2017
Artist Chantal Larocque was one of 100 artists selected to participate in “The Brain Project”. A thought provoking public exhibition in downtown Toronto of brain sculptures that were sold to sponsoring organizations or collectors worldwide. Proceeds supported Baycrest Health Sciences, a world leader in brain health and aging. The summer long art exhibit started July 11th, 2017 until end of September 2017!
Chantal's art sculpture was located at NATHAN PHILLIPS SQUARE downtown Toronto and is sponsored by Colliers International Brain Sculpture Title & Message: "Forget-Me-Not" Dear caregivers…this art piece is for you…It is to remind you that you are beautiful and you are loved. As an artist, I am sensitive to the emotions of others. I sympathize with the distress of both the person who manifests symptoms of brain diseases, and those who experience them – the caregiver and the family members. The black and white photos represent all of our memories, which can be shadowed by life’s circumstances …We need to remember that in time even the most barren soil can be renewed and bloom again. Flowers are universally loved. Their simple presence can beautify any room, and cheer any person…their blossoms cover over memories and give us hope. The sweet little Forget-Me-Not blooms are to remember those whom we love, even if they’re still with us right now. We need to create vivid memories that will last! |
