The artwork was originally created by our friend Daniel Wallace and used for Matt and Tamara’s wedding in 1997. Local artist and friend Mel Nightingale has used Dan’s original drawings and developed Silent Way.

 

Earthworms, birds, snakes, friendship and love are our symbols for Silent Way.

 

Earthworms are ecosystem engineers; they change the structure of their environment. They are nature's little farmers and plough and mix up the soil. Their tunnelling loosens the soil so water and nutrients can go downward.

 

Birds are important as they make essential contributions to our ecosystem. They get rid of harmful insects and predatory birds keep down the populations of rodents such as mice and rats.

 

Snakes have important ecological value. They are silent predators of the world and keep the animal population in balance. Snakes have mysterious connotation and symbolise loyal love.
