The new sculpture at Resthaven Mitcham
Sharing a Moment
There’s a new sculpture at Resthaven Mitcham!
Gerry McMahon is the artist who created Resthaven Mitcham’s sculpture, ‘Sharing a Moment’, installed in the newly landscaped front garden. Resthaven has commissioned several works by Gerry.
In Gerry’s words:
‘When designing my sculptures, I think of it as a three-dimensional snapshot in time. I try to capture a moment in order to tell a story.’
‘I based this sculpture around sharing a moment between a grandmother and her granddaughter. A connection with nature, and each other.’
‘With both their feet in the pond, they celebrate the joy of life as they share a loaf of bread with a duck and her ducklings. Through giving, we receive.’
