More of the Sculpture Park
After I had been to see the exhibition I decided to explore the grounds more and look at the art thats always there and started to think about how different it would make the scenery look if my work was there instead. Or maybe how it would change my work...

The sculpture park is used by such a huge varity of people my work just would not be appropriate there. For instance lots of families go on day trips there and even school children go on trips to see the art.
Scultures around the grounds:
'Deer Shelter'
Random sculptures
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Today was a nice day so I headed upto the Sculpture Park. 
When I had looked on the internet at what exhibitions were on there wasn't really anything that I thought I'd be interested in but I went anyway because Its better than nothing.
When you first walk in the door on the wall is some work and sculptures by Sophie Ryder and other artists. She works with poses, refelcting the bodies most immediate reflexes and needs, range from the seeking of shelter and repose, to mementary expressions of raw energy.
These sculptures were probably as small as the palm of my hand. They were set in Bronze. This set are named "Kneeling" - a figure curled in a pose that portrays the bodies most basic way of protecting itself or seeking comfort.
Some of Isamu Noguchi's work for sale:

So I got there and there was an exhibition on by Isamu Noguchi he had alot of sculpture work which was quite good really.. I'm not really into sculpture that much but his thinking behind it got me. He created abstract work. Toward the 1040's he had published two essays concerning the power of meaningful aesthetic experiences on the human psyche; how objects and environments could improve the lives of individuals and communities.
Noguchi wrote that his work may have been inspired by childhood memories and paper folding in Japan.
Some of his work at the exhibition was sets from theatre and dance productions which were brilliant. It included "Night Journey" and "Judith". Some were stone, some were bronze, some were marble and some were wood. I thought this showed his ability to work with materials.
He also had alot of paper sketches of work that would later become enlarged sculptures.
Noguchi said "if the world were to survive, sculpture had to be an important part of the living experience and not just for collectors to buy."
