Out to Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Myself and Charlotte went out to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park to see the Andy Goldsworthy exhibition that is on. I have to say that I was a bit dissapointed. The majority of the exhibition was small items and photographs of old work. Some of the older work is interesting to see to put his early work into context but the only item that stood out was a submerged wall in a lake with a dam. Unfortunately they only had a couple of photographs of it.
We went across to the other side of the park (3km) only to find out that the other gallery shuts at 4pm (not notices anywhere say this and there was a queue of people who had walked across who had to turn back). We did see the ‘hanging trees’ which were interesting pieces but they don’t have the resonance of the other sinuous stone wall peices or his natural constructions. His most recent work seems a lot more brutal and lacks the empathy that I see in his ‘well known’ work.
