Home Is Where the Heart Is

On Floor 3 of the centre, artist Pat Durr has created an 18-foot-long curved mural. Predominantly abstract, the mural uses playful colours and abstract symbols that relate to ideas about environmentalism and the complexities of life. For Pat Durr, the fate of the earth is an ongoing concern. The frog is an important environmental indicator and draws attention to the damage caused by human activity. Her son Sean’s pet frog was used as a model in many of her paintings. The artist’s hopes and dreams for her children are represented by these images of a rich natural world.
