Something Civic-Minded…

I’ve seen people in Chinatown sitting on these pipes all the time.

The first photo is a case in point.

I love that photo, a flurry of movement- so much direction. Your eyes go a bit crazy until they settle on the man resting on the pipes, or find unexpected refuge in the safe harbour of the girl peeking out from the doorway.

These pipes- as pokey, uncomfortable, and rough as they are- have long ago been reimagined as benches, repurposed as public seating on a street that has none.

I just made them more comfy!

I call it a “Seating Cap”!

I built 5- made to measure.

They are all installed in Chinatowne along Dundas.
