“Charm Harbour” is a seven-piece sculptural installation at Maxwell Place Park in Hoboken, NJ. Chiaozza imagines the curious shapes as whimsical charms or magical tokens that have tumbled out of a satchel of a mythical giant. Inspiring physical and mental play, these “charms” engage the park's grassy lawn near the waterfront, inviting visitors to activate their bodies and minds in new ways. They love it when visitors ask, “What is This?” This place of questioning opens up a space of wonder and potential in the heart and mind. They find great value in this space of openness, a feeling that anything is possible. The name “Charm Harbour” plays with the waterside location of Maxwell Place Park and suggests a place, a port, a safe haven for our collective imagination.
