Westland Women

Along the Hokitika pathway to the beach there are these sculptures sitting on amongst the artwork named "Westland Women" which commemorate all the women at the heart of the local communities. The artist is Richard Brett and these were made in 2009. They also look like they double as seats.

Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

Seats that kind of embrace but I could think of more flattering ways to commemorate the community contribution of women - and ways that make them look less used or useable.... to convey strength and commitment as well as devotion.

I do recognize women in them, of course, but as chairs, I don't find them very inviting.

I don't like the idea of a representation of a women being used as a chair.

Women supporting people as they relax. Nice idea.
