Rosnes Benches

The Rosnes Bench website describes them as “an idea developed for the vast and diverse landscape of Dumfries and Galloway by Scottish artists Dalziel + Scullion.”

And tells us that “To experience the Rosnes Benches we have to go into this land, into nature and allow the artworks to challenge how we see and perceive this world – usually from eye level, usually looking forward and down and usually with the ideas and methods that become habitual to us and matter of fact. The benches slow us down, create stillness, change our viewpoint and help us to remain in the moment and be part off the immediate context that surrounds us.”

How could we resist? During 2015 we found the benches to “challenge how we see and perceive this world”.
