Mackenzie Thorpe - sculpture “Falling in Love” weaves an emotional element into the exhibit.

Paul Dibble & the Britten Family - Inspired by John Britten’s life he has created “Free Flight” a large bronze wing like sculpture designed to allow it’s audience to touch and climb. A fitting tribute to John and his dreams of speed and flight.
The Dyslexia Discovery Exhibit is an outdoor gallery experience open to the public, located in Christchurch, New Zealand. The primary motivation behind the creation of the Dyslexia Discovery Exhibit is to confront this reality, challenge the views that create this reality, and offer a seed of hope that may grow in power to shift mindsets and remove the shame that so often surrounds dyslexia.
The gallery provides knowledge, inspiration and encouragement for all dyslexics by showcasing the artistic, engineering, creative and business achievements of four leading picture thinkers.
