i’ve been commissioned to create seating for Post Office Square in Leiston. the work must reflect the distinctive character of Leiston with specific reference to Leiston Long Shop Museum and possibly looking at the 3 Garrett Sisters. the space between and around three trees creates all sorts of restrictions and possibilities which need to be explored. it will be interesting to work with a space i know well.
