One of four benches created by Rick Weese in Prince Park. The benches have been created using pieces and parts of the old Holland High School buildings which have been repurposed into apartments.. The benches are located in a small park on the school site.

The four, functional artworks utilize reclaimed materials, including
chalkboards, steel, cut metal, and concrete. These site-specific pieces pay
homage to the revitalization of the schools and the historic foundations on
which the neighborhoods and buildings were built. Designed using primary-
school geometry, the benches act as aesthetic design solutions, creating
intimate seating throughout the park for viewing smaller sculptures.
Rick Weese, of Studio Rico Oeste, is a West Michigan artist who has maintained a home and studio in Holland, Michigan, for over 16 years. A functional sculptor, his work can be found in private and public collections, including the interior bar and exterior beer garden at New Holland Brewery.
