The Eudaemonium

A sculpture that acts acts as a 'living book' for a town. Located outside of Altrincham Library, The Eudaemonium acts as a physical marker to encourage people to collect and share routes to well-being with one-another. Within the spine of the book is a cupboard, intended to contain the community's knowledge of recipes for wellness of all kinds. The space may also be used for library activities.
