A visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park

 We are so lucky to have this enormous sculpture park within an hour's drive. It is just off the M1 at Wakefield.

At the moment they have exhbitions on by Joanna Vasconcelos and Damian Hirst, but the grounds of Bretton Hall are full of other artist's works such as Anthony Caro, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth to name but a few.


A ring made by the artist Joanna Vasconcelos. It is made from wheel rims and whisky glasses.





I like this one by Damian Hirst.  It is actually made from bronze and then painted.






This is Gerry next to the "Grandad" of the Family of Man by Barbara Hepworth.

Sharp, square and solid shapes indicate that it is a man, and the complexity of the shapes of an older adult contrast to the simpler "younger" persons!
