BUTE 2015
(2006)
The Isle of Bute was one of the most famous islands in Scotland about 100 years ago and has over 100 benches. Nowadays, most of the benches are empty, as people prefer to catch flights to hotter climates.
I created a series of benches on the Isle of Bute. Each bench is positioned at its most scenic location. The benches are strategically located to get the best from each of their locations, at different times of the day, and so encourage people to enjoy a day trip by walking from the south to the north of the island. The benches allow you to use them for different purposes: a fresh view high from a treehouse in the morning, a very low bench on the grass in the afternoon, swinging your legs under a table-high bench with your lover in the evening, and laying down and enjoying charming stars with the night bench. All my benches are connected to each other on the map. When you take the journey, you have to trace the symbol of each bench on your map.
