I ventured over to the sculpture park in what seemed like the only few hours this week when it wasn't raining. David Nash was the main exhibitor and his burnt wooden sculptures looked stunning surrounded by the natural woodland, especially the black steps. The Henry Moore Park was incredible, I loved the materials he used and the disfigurement of some sculptures in comparison to the smooth curves of others meant we got to see a variety of his famous techniques. The surrounding landscape makes this sculpture park enchanting, especially the woodland; the contrast between the natural landscape and the prominent sculptures has a huge impact and the concept of putting together these two elements is something I would like to investigate and experiment with this year.
ooooohwa wish i'd come with you, it looks gorgeous! I bet the positioning of the exhibiton made it even more amazing to view. I adore Henry Moore, how many pieces did they have of his? Lets go back when its sunny and have a picnic in the park (+G&T's!) surrounded by all the scultptures! x

ReplyDeleteI really love Land Art, and i myself have been to various parks to view works by Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Long and David Nash. I have always been interested in the use of nature in art. A particular favourite of mine is Barbara Hepworth and her use of curvilinear forms.
