Pastellie
Created by: Lena Kibbler
Sponsored by: Arthur Prince Group
Location: Church of St Mary de Castro
Overview
Pastellie is a combination of different cultures in pattern. Spirals for a journey through a life of transformations. Circles for community and friendship. Triangles and squares for strength. Horizonal lines for peace and tranquillity. Symmetry for prosperity. Candlelight for good over evil. Geometric designs for balance and order, all combined in vibrant colours. The red toenails?… so it can hide in a cherry tree of course!

Church of St Mary de Castro
