Rongonui – Heart Soul Spirit

- 122 x 60 cm
The Avon river flows through all the Central library panels, uniting the different teams. Our panel is further embellished with a lustrous fabric red heart which signifies the Popular Team’s role to nourish the hearts and souls of Central library’s customers and staff.
The stylised S-shape running behind the heart stands for soul and spirit, and also represents a treble clef, referencing our music collection.
We’ve used cancelled book stock to create hearts and flowers with donated buttons and beads: a floral motif was chosen as many team members and customers are avid gardeners; it also reflects our physical proximity to the banks of the Avon and Victoria Square. A final finishing touch has been the inclusion of genre and location labels unique to the fiction collection.
