Sensory seat at Barley Mow Park Sunderland
Barley Mow Park Project  2010
I worked with a group of young offenders & a partially sighted gardening group in Sunderland, to produce a seat and birdhouses for the Sensory Garden in Barley Mow Park.

The seat featured six panels depicting images connected with Sunderland - A ship, the Empire Theatre, Black cat, St Peters Church, a miners lamp & Penshaw monument. The panels have raised detail on them so that they can be recognised by touching them. 

The text on the seat - Nil Desperandum Auspice Deo - Never Despair trust in God, relates to the Sunderland crest of arms, which also features on the seat back.

2.5m x 1.8m x 0.5m  Powder-coated Mild Steel, Stainless Steel
