Peter Yarwood
3 stone benches, 1993
Fargate
Ancaster limestone and Birchover gritstone


Location:
Fargate, Sheffield City Centre

Description:
Substantial benches, which are made of two slightly different coloured stone, are lightened by the addition of both incised and raised wheat-like grasses

Commission:
Sheffield City Council

Comment:
Although set into a paved area to separate the benches from their surroundings, the neighbouring street advertisements create a lot of visual background interference
