'Subway to the south' public art seating
'Subway To The South'  2011

After an initial consultation with members of the community centre, it 
was decided that a sculptural seat would be sited at the bottom end of 
East Howdon overlooking the River Tyne. Several community groups 
have been involved with the project.

The ring in the design represents the community of East Howdon, with 
the rods linking it to the rest of the world, as well as providing a backrest 
& structural support. The text used on the seat uses the names of 
various ports around the world that are linked to the River Tyne. The 
lettering is laser  cut & filled in white. The seat itself is powder 
coated in blue to represent the River.

2m x 1.4m x 60 cm
