The long bench

In the seside town of Littlehampton in West Sussex the is an art installation called the Long Bench. This bench runs for some distance along the esplanade. For most of this run it is a prettyy normal bench but at two points it springs up into rising and falling swirls.

The bench is like Marmite to the locals and gives rise to strong optinions of either love or hating. Personally, I love it, not just for its form but also for the way in which people interact with it.

This is obviously not my nomal genre of photography but but I felt compelled to capture its. This collection represents just a small number of images that I collected over a period of about three months.
