Chairs

A nod to Mr Arthur Purdy, Chairs speaks to the history of the laneway and references Mr Purdy's second hand furniture business that ran for 27 years (1927-1955) from a two storey, red-brick building situated in the laneway.

The quirky characters sitting on antique chairs have a life of their own, carefully keeping watch over the laneway.
