Yorkshire Sculpture Park Visit
A couple of weeks ago, the university had organised a trip to go to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The purpose of the trip was to experience artwork firsthand, and to also gather inspiration. The sculpture park is full of works from various artists ranging from Sol Le Witt, to Antony Gormley, to Magdalena Abakanowicz. While there were sculptures placed all around the park, there was also various exhibits within the different buildings at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
One of the exhibits was the Bill Viola. The majority of the Bill Viola work was video and installation, which drew in the public eye and guided you through a pitch black exhibit. I thoroughly enjoyed the work of Bill Viola, and will be using their work as a form of inspiration for my future projects.
At the time of the visit, the Poppies Wave was installed at the park. This was an extraordinary site to see, as it’s a small part of a bigger picture. I really loved being able to see this as I missed the chance to see the full installation when it exhibited down in London.
And even with all the artwork around the park, I was still enticed by the seasonal change throughout the park. With the weather changing, and the sun shining, the park screamed Autumn. The colours in the wilderness made the experience a lot more enjoyable, and also may have distracted me from looking at some of the artwork. Below are images from the trip. Enjoy.
