The sculpture/harvest table/s titled Nuts is intended to make a poignant and exciting reference to the essence and spirit of humanist ideals as well as nature/nurture with humour and in association to seasonal change and connectedness. It emphasizes a spirit of optimism while symbolically referencing the importance of nature and our direct association with it in “connectivity” and preparedness, sometimes felt as an overwhelming task as implied by the oversized acorn to the size of the squirrel. Its conceptual foundation and humanist aesthetic reinforces the significance of this being a place for community functional “gatherings” and sharing that will play off the sculptural component of the nut and squirrel as a visual pun.
