Andy Goldsworthy at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

I went to YSP for the first time whilst visiting the ILs and I was really impressed with the park itself. Seeing first hand some of Henry's Moore sculptures was enthralling and awe inspiring. I felt a real reverential respect for his talent and that of the other sculpters whose pieces were on show.

AG's exhibition was really impressive, especially the spider web that he created using twigs. I was awestruck by it simplicity and knowing that it was far from simple to create. His use of what we would deem nature's waste certainly made me think about how we throw so much away without thinking twice about finding a secondary use.

no but I'd like to. Andy Goldsworthy does some really beautiful work - and I am really not an arty person but I really think it's lovely. Am in London though so not expecting to go any time soon.

Haven't seen the new exhibition but have been to YSP a few times.

And if anyone is free on May 12th, in the area, we are hoding the Yorshire Mile for Maude at YSP! Come and join us - see charitable events on MN.

speedy - the web is amazing isn't it? Completely awe-inspiring. I do admit to a moment of terror thinking either dh would lose control of his wheelchair and plunge into it, or I would lose control of ds' pushchair somehow ... I would definitely not take a toddler into that room unless closely supervised.

Come one come all to the YSP mile for Maude !
