Having a chat with Becky gathering all the ideas so far:

BENCH- What do you want people to get out of the experience of a bench? (made by members of the gardening group with local wood)....A TIME TO PAUSE, TO REFLECT, TO CHAT AND CONNECT, TO RE-CONNECT TO OTHERS AND NATURE...The moment of making the bench also encompasses this. PEACE AND CONNECTION (IN HOWEVER WAY THAT MANIFESTS). TO BE AND TO BE PRESENT. NOTICING.

Do a soundscape that may encompasses chats that happen on benches, when we pause, the sounds of the volunteers as we are planting seeds. The sounds of the park. With consent.

Also want to look at the sun set, risings, twilights, moon cycles, the natural cycles of may...to look and capture the bench at this time, the plants....

Need to make a visual mood board of the types of benches and the aesthetic....

IT MAY BE THAT THE CREATIVE ACCESS RESOURCE FROM THE GAP OF THE BENCH AND SOUNDSCAPE IS TEXT-BASED...E.G. SEED PACKETS, POETRY, TRANSCRIPTS, PLAQUE ON BENCH... OR, IF I CAN PULL IT OFF.... THE LIVE STREAM OF THE BUILT BENCH AT A CERTAIN TIME (LIKE SUNSET) INSPIRED BY PROSPECT COTTAGE LIVE STREAM AT SUNSET...BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT.
