Meander is a steam-bent oak bench designed to be a resting place that invites visitors following the trail to stop, observe, and spend time in the beauty of the forest. Its strong, winding form represents the resilience and solidarity found woven through the landscape, heritage, and people of the Forest of Dean.

Veasey joined sculptor and leading steam-bending expert, Charlie Whinney, to collaborate on the fabrication of the piece at Charlie Whinney Studios. The large natural pieces of quarried Forest of Dean sandstone supporting the sculpture have been provided by Birch Hill Quarry. Veasey’s desire to work in harmony with the forest is reflected in her choice of natural materials, with the oak and sandstone reminding of industries within this ancient, working forest.
