A seesaw requires two people for it to move. It is a collaboration, one moves up so one moves down.
I encourage you to get on with someone you don’t know. Playgrounds are a place that children meet and form connections but when we become adults, these interactions become harder to come by.
This seesaw is intended for all ages to engage with the object, with public art and with each other.
The work becomes a performance and experience.

Abbey Rich
I’m most interested in public space, particularly community co-designed public art making. My work predominantly looks at pattern, gender and environment, with collaboration being a large pillar of my practice. My work intends to be easily approachable, to be welcoming and appeal to many people through colour, pattern and warmth. With large public art commissions for City of Casey and yapang Sculpture Park, Lake Macquarie and Camden Council.
