Something a little different for todays Maker Monday...
At the weekend I visited the Sanctuary art installation by David Best.
This wooden 'temple' sits atop a hill in the Bedworth Miners Welfare Park and has been created to commemorate those lost during the Covid pandemic. It offers members of the public the opportunity to leave messages and memories of those no longer with us until next Saturday (28th May) when it will be set alight in a moment of 'remembrance and release'.
I understand the pieces have been laser cut and assembled on site in collaboration with the local community. There are multiple layers of cut outs and the excess bits of wood used to pack or decorate other areas.
Its a stunning structure, and although i understand the reason for it being destroyed, as a creative, the idea of such beauty being set alight does pain me a bit. However, i highly recommend if you're in the Bedworth area and would like to leave a message, do visit in the next few days to become part and experience this wonderful piece.
