INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

March 8th , 2017 we rolled BIGLOVEBALL onto the steps of The Vancouver Art Gallery in shades of PINK. We invited women to come and stand with us as a gesture of honour, support and celebration. For hours everyone came to say hello and grab a photo of our big spherical love notes. Women stood as mothers, sisters and daughters and friends. Without raising our voice in decibel we amplified our message: when we create unity amongst ourselves we can be of service to humankind. If BIGLOVEBALL is a metaphor for the world, we are using PINK as symbolic for the intrinsic strengths and abilities of women. Shades of PINK representing our uniqueness a n d our commonality. The initiative to share BIGLOVEBALL on International Women’s Day was our way of suggesting a PINK path to Peace.

  • Power of Pink

    My friend Dave Decarlo, a Vancouver artist who makes masterpieces from recycled stuff, allowed me to feature him with Big Love Ball, in celebration of PRIDE. Dave is approaching 70 and while many men tremble at the mere idea of PINK, Dave has spent his life standing tall and PROUD, in every colour.

  • Writing on Ribs

    I invited people to stand in an alley against a city wall, to let me write the word LOVE across their ribcage. What transpired would move me in a way that I wasn’t even prepared for. I saw acceptance, I saw vulnerable, I saw joy, I saw calm. I felt trust. I saw living, breathing, loving, humans. Being.

  • Going Back for David

    I put my daughter in the car, without knowing how or where we would find him. Over the next two years, David and I relearned to be siblings. Without sifting through the past or aggrandizing the future, we were grateful for the moments in our hands. We spent time in my world and we spent time in his.

  • Pride Parade

    Our big city became a neighbourhood as 28 of us proudly marched, danced and played with the crowds while handing out YOU ARE LOVED notes by the thousands. We boldly carried signs that read HAVE THE BALLS TO SHOW YOUR LOVE and COME OUT AND PLAY, flaunting our love light amongst 500,000 friends.

  • Say It Bigger

    8 billion people on this planet are fighting to be heard. The sound is deafening as we struggle to be understood. Buzzing, pushing, pulling, SHOUTING. We all want to be received. Our message is LOVE.
