THIS eye-catching artwork will give passers-by an elegant place to rest their feet.
The unique bench has been turning heads outside Warwick House in Seaford, a new purpose built facility including Seaford Library, a day service for older people and a supported living accommodation.
Artist Peter Yarwood won the commission from East Sussex County Council’s library and information service after impressing a panel of volunteers with his design ideas.
The work has been funded with £20,000 from the Arts Council, £2,500 from East Sussex County Council and £100 from Seaford Town Council.
Councillor Chris Dowling, the county council’s lead member for community services, said: “This is an exciting addition to the front of the library building and is already starting to spark discussion.
“When the original building was being demolished, a well-used bench near the bus stop had to be removed.
"We have been able to replace the seating and add some great contemporary art to the town.”
