From Christchurch, New Zealand, Pete & Joyce Majendie have spent a large chunk of their lives exploring faith and art, in particular, installational art in public spaces.  The 185 Empty White Chairs Earthquake Remembrance Installation (https://www.185chairs.co.nz/) has been an ongoing project for 10 plus years, and is listed by TripAdvisor as the city's top landmark attraction.

Peter is currently Artist in Residence at a large local church and Joyce is enjoying retirement from working in mental health.  They are fortunate to have all of their children and grandchildren living nearby and find them a source of hope and joy.
