Curious Benches

Challenge (Personal Project)

Benches are curious phenomena; islands of solitude or community dispersed across the landscape, marking routes that we frequent. This project aims to offer a fresh perspective on these familiar and commonplace objects

Solution

St. Asaph’s community and the localities of North Wales were asked to share their stories and experiences of these benches and their origins. These encounters have been documented in the form of an interactive map, allowing the story to continue. Please feel free to add to this communal map from wherever you live. Locate them on Google Maps here.
