Context For Creation | I appreciated what my youngest children's primary school did for them and I wanted to write a work that reflected on what the school helped them with, but I was concerned to not 'dedicate' it to the school. I wanted the school motto to have an impact and so I used it as the title of this piece. I thought that if I noted it was 'for' a school then the motto might not have the value I sought. It is for Oakleigh Primary School in Ashgrove, Queensland |
