L’Arche Comox Valley, Canada, by Claire Donavan
Chrissy Fraser ‘Ocean Life’, L’Arche Comox Valley, Canada
This piece of art was chosen at a general body meeting of our community members. Members were invited to make a comment about it. Community reflections:
“We live by the ocean. It is part of us. This painting represents our community.”
“Deep and mysterious.”
“I like it.”
“She has an artist’s eye.”
“It represents Chrissy. It shows life, some obstacles that Chrissy has overcome.”
“Initially, it’s dark, but there’s more in the depth than you realize.”
“I look at it and I see many shapes, many different creatures and as I look around the room I see many shapes, many different creatures. There’s a place for everyone in the ocean and in L’Arche.”
“I like the crabs.”
“I love the combination of colour and shape. It speaks of life.”
