Sun Chairs

Located at the southwestern point of Elbow Island Park, these seats were designed by romantic partners for the sunniest locale on the island. In the artists' words, "Sun Chairs are meant to support a moment of gathered attention, vacation, rest and relaxation, recalling beach loungers next to swimming pools or the ocean. In these moments the focus can be soft; on the river, the sun, maybe the stars in motion. With the back of the chairs angled towards the sky our perspective can shift to what is above and beyond." 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.
