Late Lunch

Created by long-time friends, these seats are located across the ephemeral stream. Referencing a relationship with nature based in the landscaping experience, this bench hearkens to an autobiographical experience shared by many who worked outdoors. In the artists' words, "Late Lunch references a nostalgia related to labour and leisure. Two wheelbarrows tipped up create an impromptu seating arrangement to rest for a bit while the work stops. Late Lunch can be an agreement between the workers on an extended work day, or it can be an extended break as you relax and take in your surroundings." Each bench or seat on Elbow Island was designed by artist duos with a close relationship with the intention of creating their ideal 'together place' to sit, daydream, converse, escape, and watch the river flowing by.
