I step through the door, in 2024
overwhelmed
a quiet pride rises within me
knowing I am part of this place
I feel its grandeur
the house, its history, its art,
and the community that breathes life into it
I am filled with joy
with profound gratitude
I am deeply interested in the concept of existence, focusing on our personal formation, considering the influence of our surrounding culture and relationship, while also paying attention to the lasting impression we ourselves, leave behind.
The dialogue and exchange of thoughts and experiences that emerge among those of us present near my work, are experienced as rewarding and significant. It is as if the artwork takes on a new depth, as if meaningful nuances are added, and the significance of the work is solidified. For this I am truly grateful.

Ahead of the Year of the Home in 2026 when we celebrate the Society's 50 years at Dora House, we asked members to share with us their personal memories of Dora House. We will be sharing them throughout 2026 as part of a programme of this milestone, marked also by the delivery of our project Creating a Home for Sculptors. If you have a memory you would like to share, you can still do so via this link.
