Morris Singer Art Founders - Projects and Sculptors

Peter Hayes

Bench

Conceived in 2003, Bench derives from Hayes' first impression on arriving in an African village of a group of people silently watching him. The sculpture takes its form from a row of seated figures and is designed to be used as a place for sitting and contemplation.

Cast in bronze at Morris Singer Art Founders, Bench relates to Hayes' other works, which erode and age with time, as the patination will change with contact with seated people.
