Welcome to the Healing Hearts Project, an art exhibition and documentary film initiative featuring the art of Canadian artist John Coburn.
John's original pen and ink drawings from his 2002 book Healing Hearts will be shown publicly for the first time in New York City from September 1-15, 2011
at the prestigious offices of Sciame Construction, located at 14 Wall Street.
Coburn joined the pilgrimage to lower Manhattan in the fall of 2001, "Some brought candles. Some brought love notes, poems, flowers and photos. John brought his sketch pad." - Foreword from Healing Hearts, by Bryan Chadwick. The result was a sensitive, calming and remarkably human tribute to the families of September 11 that reflects the compassion of New Yorkers and people from around the world. Coburn's drawings will leave a dramatic and positive impression on the viewer a decade later.
In addition, there is a documentary film by director Paul Perrier in the works, a trailer of which can be seen clicking here. To view the recent coverage on CBC's The National, please click here.
