Art to make you stop and think.


The artist who created this very moving piece of sculpture in Bristol wished to remain anonymous. I feel it's important to share along with the link from Mind https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/crisis-services/helplines-listening-services/

PS The piece is called "Bear with me" and is by Getting Up To Stuff

  1. This is typical of the way a lot of people are feeling right now. So sad and what a wonderful piece of art. The teddy is sort of saying 'it will be okay, there, there' I love it.

  3. Great sculpture and perfect to link to Mind. That is one of the charities we contribute to through work (we have half a dozen we provide regular donations to and encourage the employees here to engage with in volunteer work, fund raising etc).

Getting up to mischief

Isn't it a tad frustrating when you see something you think you'd really enjoy and you can't manage it for a multitude of reason...
