As part of the ‘The August Artist In Residency Programme 2019’ at The Workers Gallery, musician Bel Blue and photographer & video artist, Lucy Jane Purrington celebrated and explored the conviviality of benches.

Their residency involved time on the bench opposite The Workers Gallery, the surrounding area and inside the gallery.

This film has been created from the sounds, conversations and visual images captured during their residency on 8 August 2019 at The Workers Gallery, Ynyshir, Rhondda, Wales.
