This amazing solid black limestone sculpture was created and donated to Loch Lomond Villa today by Edmund Elekwachi a Common Wealth Art Fellow in 1992. Edmunds wife Agnes works here at the Villa with our residents. Here is his description of the piece. The sculpture is called The Village. A village comprises of men, women, children and of course our pets. It also includes traditions, cultures and way of life in the village. Every village has a leader that sees to the day to day activities of the village. In this master piece of art we see that it compresses every aspect of a typical village. The head is elongated, which includes both male and female faces. The eyes are closed which signifies equality, love, care and responsibilities with dear or favour. The drapery fabrics represent culture of the village, and that is why the saying goes that it takes a village to raise and care for a child. The beats symbolizes the traditions of the village which includes culture, language and the leadership of the village. The big hand stands for care, strength, protection and safety. In the village there are different types of care, like acute care, long term care, palliative care, and more. At the back of the sculpture are organizations, individuals, clubs, federal and provincial government and the team of the management of Loch Lomond Villa.
