RED ZONE
Inspired by some of my experiences living 50m from the residential redzone in Christchurch New Zealand.
Home - 'How's your house?' The question that has been asked endless times since the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011
and continues for many residents today. No matter how varied residents
experiences of the earthquake everyone shared a focus on home. A
redzone trio would not be complete without recognizing the importance of
home in Christchurch residents' experiences.
Pīwakawaka
(fantail) - An unexpected bonus of living near the redzone is the
proliferation of birdlife. As people moved out the birds (and rodents)
moved in. We have seen more pīwakawaka in the past few years than ever
before, and we have had other avian visitors, such as spur-wing plovers,
as well. A nearby cricket ground is reverting to swamp land and the
geese love to visit.
Californian poppy - Around Christchurch
people have scattered wildflower seeds. If you live here, or have
visited, you will understand how confronting an empty section or scar on
the land after demolition can be. Sometimes the demolition and
clear-up is completed quickly, but more often most of the job is
completed but piles of 'building mince' remain for a long time reminding
everyone of how things have changed. Even where wildflower seeds have
not been scattered, many flowers pop up and californian poppies have
shown themselves to be hardy and prolific in the redzone nearby. They
are little flashes of brilliant colour in a muted landscape and we love
to spot them, and other wee gems of flowery colour.
Also available in sets of single design, round buttons, and pendants.
For these and more buttons please check out the Ready Right Now section.
There is a very special little boy, named Albie, who has a special heart.
When I dreamed up this button, Albie jumped into my mind. He's inspirational like that!
So, for the month of July 75% of all sales of my new button, To the moon Captain Albie! will be donated to Heart Kids NZ.
