It was warm and sunny in December 2015 and very near to the time of summer solstice there in the southern hemisphere.<br />

When I arrived at the school, the teachers and the Principal, Neil Chalmers welcomed me. Children were running barefoot and wearing the blue school hats that they are required to wear because of the thin ozone layer in the summer.<br />
<br />
Sixth grade teacher Sharon Prestidge introduced me to two sixth grade girls, Millie and Tyler, who were organizing plans for the ceremony to open the time capsule. <br />
<br />
It was a unique and special ceremony. I was struck by the attention to the Maori culture. Millie described the planned performances of haka (dance) by 30 students and mentioned to me that she was one of the dancers and that she and her mother were Maori.<br />
<br />

Just before the ceremony Sharon Prestidge gathered all the visitors or guests into a group saying, “We are on the waka (boat) together, (remembering the Polynesian canoes that brought the original people to Aoteraoa or New Zealand) and we are joining in a common purpose. Think of those who came before us, and of the sacredness of the earth under the sculpture.”<br />
<br />
We moved slowly toward the sculpture and heard the school children singing a welcoming song to us. <br />

Soon after, a group of 30 students began haka performances, a Maori cultural dance performed in a line. (For rugby fans, the All Blacks, New Zealand’s World Champion rugby team performs a haka facing the opposing team using loud and tough warrior moves meant to challenge the opponent.) Mapua School boys perform their own challenge. <br />

Thoughts about the 1993-2015 World Sculpture Project</h3>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
If I had to choose one word to describe this 23 years long art project, it would be <b>connections.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
My first intention was to connect people and cultures through art. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
There are geographic connections between the sun-aligned sculptures at specific latitudes. Each sculpture has a unique alignment with the sun or stars. The first three sculptures were placed at 22 degrees north latitude in Honolulu, Hawaii; 45 degrees north latitude in Stanstead, Canada and 60 degrees north latitude in Olso, Canada. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
When I was slow to find a sculpture site in Hawaii I decided on adding two pieces to the series: Sendai, Japan at 39 degrees north latitude and Mapua, New Zealand at 41 degrees south latitude. </div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
Making art with children was the most satisfying for me, and just plain fun. I encouraged children to express their feelings: “What is important to you? What are your joys and worries?” They loved making art pieces that could be part of a larger sculpture project. Their enthusiasm was contagious.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
And the joy of children singing songs during the final time capsule opening in Mapua will stay with me for my lifetime.</div>

As we set up the tools, tables and tent near the ALL ONE sculpture there was a misty rain. Some called it a blessing that graced the beginning of the time capsule opening ceremony.<br />

In 2002, ALL ONE was installed at the Kapi’olani Community College in Honolulu, Hawaii. I cut the sculpture out of thick “weathering” steel back in Vermont and then shipped it to the college. It was fairly easy to assemble and to install quite close to Diamond Head, at the entrance to the college.<br />

Art professor David Behlke’s watercolor painting titled “Hawaiian Heart Beat”.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
There are two ways that ALL ONE connects with our sun and the stars:</h3>
<br />
When the “cookie cutter” shape under the sculpture is filled with shadow, the sun is overhead. In Hawaii that moment is called La Haina noon. And it happens twice in a year, before summer solstice and after in late May and early June. At this time at solar noon, a person has no shadow.<br />
<br />
The second alignment is more conceptual. ALL ONE faces northeast. Around this time in November, the Pleiades star cluster rises in the east as the sun sets in the west. A heliacal rising. Ancient Hawaiians associated this with the return of the god Lono and the beginning of the Makahiki season.<br />
<br />
The Maori in New Zealand call this Polynesian connection the Matariki season. At the TELLING STONES sculpture in Mapua, New Zealand, the angle of the rising Pleiades is marked with a jewel-like stone set into a boulder to the southeast. The TELLING STONES marking of the Maori Matariki season is a southern hemisphere reflection of the Hawaiian season honored at the ALL ONE sculpture in Honolulu, Hawaii.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Next, New Zealand</h3>
<br />
The final capsule opening in this series of five sculptures will be on December 4 at the Mapua School in Mapua. It is located at 4 Stafford Drive off Aranui Drive south from Nelson on Route 6 turning right on to Route 60 the Coastal Highway.<br />
<br />
Mapua has been celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2015. We will be joining the festivities. Come on down! (I wish you all could be with us.)<br />

We fill the ALL ONE sculpture’s time capsule in 2002 at the Kapi’olani Community College in Honolulu.<br />
<br />
On November 19 at 9am, students will dig up the time capsule and move the contents to the entrance of the college library. An exhibition of photographs, drawings and small clay sculptures from the capsules will be part of a month long exhibition.<br />

In New Zealand, elementary school children look at the green ceramic egg-shaped time capsule inside its steel sarcophagus. The rough earth near the TELLING STONES sculpture was too difficult to dig so we placed the capsule safely inside the Mapua School in Mapua, New Zealand.<br />
<br />
On December 4, if weather permits, we will move the ceramic “egg” time capsule outside near the TELLING STONES sculpture while students sing English and Maori songs. A small exhibit will be arranged in the school’s lobby and the school will host a public reception. All are welcome to attend.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13977822852319838583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678643252984870835.post-59992036150962142812015-07-13T12:02:00.001-07:002015-07-14T05:36:14.322-07:00Time capsule event in Izumi Town, Sendai, Japan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Kate, known to me as Grandma Kate, arrived in Sendai, Japan on Tuesday and was greeted at the airport by a rare rain, her homestay family from 17 years ago and myself. After slurping through mountains of cold soba (buckwheat noodles) we returned to home base, where we recharged. Jetlagged brain + inundation of the Japanese language = rest required.<br />

But there’s no moss growing on this <i>baachan</i> (grandma). Amidst the jetlag and exhaustion, we planned and gathered thoughts for a meeting at Tohoku International School (TIS) and “Grape City” – a playfully named company that is connected to many of the project partners.<br />

In June of 1996, during a residency at the museum, I worked with ten and eleven year old children to make art work at the museum. We filled the capsule with their artwork and that of children from Quebec, CA and from Vermont and Hawaii, USA.<br />
<br />
Around fifty of these "children" were present and eagerly scrambled to find their artwork on the table.<br />

Other stories are happy ones. "This one was done by the son of the mayor of Oslo; he now loves with his heiress wife in Bergen."<br />
<br />
And the granddaughter of famous Norwegian playwright and illustrator Egner Thornbjorn had drawn a picture of happy animals and birds living in nature very similar to her grandfather's illustrations.<br />
<br />
Included with the drawings were clay artifacts. Some were made at the museum workshops and others at Milton and Essex, Vermont schools.<br />
<br />
The small clay pieces and drawings are part of an exhibit at the museum now and will be safely included in their archives later on. <br />

Children had come from all over Norway to attend a summer camp on the island where the attack occurred. <br />
<br />
Widerberg is installing an exact replica of the sculpture in each of the regions around Norway from which children came who were killed.<br />
<br />
If the regions have approved having a sculpture, over fifty pieces could be installed throughout Norway.<br />

<b>Per Andreasson</b> at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology in Oslo, Norway is using Facebook to find people in their late 20’s and early 30’s who were students in 1996 and whose artwork is in the capsule. We look forward to some of the original students being present to open the capsule inside the sculpture. The opening at the Solekko sculpture will be on Thursday, June 4.<br />
<br />
Mitsubishi Estate Company in Sendai, Japan is sponsoring the capsule opening at the Himeguri sculpture to be held on Saturday, June 20. Mitsubishi paid for the building of the sculpture in 1998.<br />
<br />
<b>Tetsuro Yoshida</b> from Mitsubishi is coordinating plans with local schools for the ceremony. Current students from Meysen Academy and Tohoku International School will pair up in twos, one kindergartner to one high school student, to remove the artwork and place it on viewing tables for all to see.<br />
<br />
We also plan to replace the artwork with new calligraphy and drawings: “Blessings for Peace and Wellbeing of the Planet” will be put into the two-foot high blue ceramic time capsule and placed back into the vault under earth for posterity.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Student comments: Looking back into the 1998 archives I have found comments from children who created the artwork for the capsules. <br />
