As part of my assignment to observe objects characteristics I took a picture of the metal bench in the forest, I chose this because I walk past these things every day and every day my mind wanders and I thin about the things that have happened in this same space. What interested me about this bench is it represents those thoughts, this bench has been used by thousands of people and probably will be used by more.
The object itself interests me because it has character which tells us of its history and place. Firstly it is covered in black paint and it gives it a cold metal look because the light bouncing off it is very dull, there are countless mark and signs of ware which only aid the character of this bench, if you look even closer there are things like chewing gum and other unknown things stuck to it in various places. This object does not move, does not make a sound and it is firmly stuck into the ground, the frame work and shape let the viewer know this.
