Sit On This

OK. The first part of Nettie’s visit to Mundaring’s sculpture park was a stalemate, with reactions divided over whether Stuart Elliot’s Evil Tourists were bad or good. Surely not much to wonder about with this bench though. Makes my eyes water just posting it. Would you sit on this? Don’t answer that Hokusan. Nettie says…

From front on it’s supposed to be some man holding out his humongous hand that you sit on. From side on it looks kind of like a …well, you know. You don’t even need a gutter mind like myself to figure that one out!
