Lytham Seat
Project Description
I was a student at UCLAN, Preston, and had a project to make some public art. For some time I had been volunteering with the Men of Witch Wood, Lytham, on general tidying garden duties. I proposed a seat. The Men wanted me to use the wood from their woodland, which was mainly logs chopped to about 2ft high. I found one log large enough to make a back rest and proposed a design with the 2ft logs bolted to the back rest. I saw it as a daisy design. The Men of the wood being mainly BAE retirees, saw it as a rocket with 5 booster pods. Art is all in the eye of the beholder. I carved scenes of planting trees round the back rest
