Assuming the artwork did look like a bench, I would like to know what the artist thought of the incident. I imagine if you make a bench out of chicken-wire and styrofoam, it would be very entertaining to hear that someone sat on it and broke it. (I skimmed the article she wrote on the experience, however, and it seems like the resemblance to an actual bench was "vague" at best, so I assume it wasn't just some silly fake bench at all.) One of the more beautiful mishaps in the OP's article is at the end, telling of a child who accidentally broke a sculpture an artist had spent over 2 years crafting and subsequently dedicated to her daughter. I imagine what the artist would think, making her perfect sculpture only to have it eventually come out broken – a fate not dissimilar from raising a child, such as her daughter whom the sculpture was dedicated to. Also, to be broken by another child in such a context would be delightfully sad. The fact that she renamed the sculpture "Broken" afterward is small, depressing turn of course.
