The sculpture—an architectural folly in the landscape—is suggestive of gentle amusement park rides, park bench hangs, and lazy afternoons, creating a landmark and a gathering place overlooking Frick Park’s Riverview Hill. Each of the three back-to-back benches rotates 120°, allowing, for example, an intimate conversation or a meditative view of the landscape. The cable and spring-mounted canopy sways in the wind.
