Memory Graffiti

Ok so it was decided that my photographic images were not as strong as my detailed mini benches but I really wanted to go on and create a life size bench, so it was at this point I went on to think about how our memories are left as traces upon these benches.

Realising that aside from memorial plaques evidence of human interaction is also shown by simple marks and writing on benches in the form of graffiti.  So I went on a hunt for graffiti images to give me an idea of what kind of things are written or drawn and how it is layered.
