PUBLIC ART

A Mothers’ Seating Place

Katherine Seppings contributed two tiles for this community art project, honouring mothers, in Victory Park, Castlemaine. The words she hand-painted onto the tiles were from a letter she wrote to the local RSL seeking permission for the seat as a worthy inclusion to the park (2003).

Tile One

Mothers keep the home fires burning
and whole nations fed and functioning
while their love ones are away
fighting wars.
Mothers heal wounds and tend to graves.
Mothers hold families, communities
and cultures together during times
of war and times of peace,
yet their strength and courage,
their ordinary, everyday heroic efforts
go largely unsung.

Tile Two

Throughout time, Mothers have lost
their sons and daughters to war,
and will continue to do so until
peaceful ways of resolving conflict
are put into practice.
Here in Victory Park, the heart and soul
of Castlemaine, let us honour life alongside death,
let us remember wars elsewhere –
in the past and those happening today –
and let us pay our respects
to the undeniable importance of mothers.
