The form of the bench evokes a long history of objects designed around the human form, they also acknowledge the history of the deliberate placing and siting of objects within the landscape, from cup and ring marks on constellations of recumbent stones across the whole of Europe and beyond, to contemporary cairns marking high summit points throughout our hills. To visit the benches is to visit a variety of special places, the benches can be used as a conduit between the person and this place, to tune into the multi sensory landscape that is animated by swaying tree canopies over head, radiant sky scapes, rhythms of water falls and rivers and the scent of resinous pine trees carried in the wind.

For a while we can experience existing in the moment, not thinking forward or looking back, but fully part of and immersed in the complex and multi faceted relationships we have with nature and the vibrant ecology we are a vital part off.
