The Three Post Bench
Installed July 2016 on the east bank of the Grand Union Canal in Milton Keynes. It is one of the several artworks commissioned by Great Linford Parish Council and installed as part of the Gyosei Art Trail alongside the canal. The Gyosei Japanese School was closed and demolished and the site redeveloped for housing, the developers contributing money to fund the Art Trail.
