Scripts of the Heart

Scripts of the Heart

Script of the Heart exhibition is curated by Chinese Brush Artist Carry Hornby. Chinese calligraphy is an ancient and revered art form that has evolved over thousands of years, with its roots tracing back to the Oracle Bone Script, one of the earliest forms of Chinese writing. This script was primarily used during the late Shang dynasty (circa 1200-1050 BCE) for divination and record-keeping, inscribed on bones and turtle shells. The Oracle Script is characterized by its pictographic nature, where each character is a stylized representation of the object it denotes. Carry Hornby, a Chinese Brush Artist explores the intricate beauty and historical significance of this script, celebrating its role as a precursor to modern Chinese characters. Through this exhibition and accompanying workshops, this exhibition provides an opportunity for attendees & visitors to appreciate and engage with the rich cultural heritage of Chinese calligraphy, fostering a deeper understanding of its aesthetic and historical contexts.
