We have been many times to YSP, but this time decided to take the plunge and visit the furthest parts of it, since the gallery is open (I think it opens only a select period throughout each year). I have a real fondness for Andy Goldsworthy, since I discovered his work whilst at University exploring art and nature. His vision and sense of connection to the earth and nature I find inspirational and find myself emulating some of his ideas when out and about, and certainly using it as a springboard for art work with the children. With this in mind we set about seeing "Hanging Trees", 2007. Which we saw a little trail about at the main centre on a video. At first Evan thought all 3 trees were connected, despite the single layer wall, 30 metres between each.
Bluebell mania. We picniced among them, and it was so idyllic.
Added some money to the money tree.
In case you can't see it - there is a really large Heron sat on this weeping willow.
On the way we found some other wonderful pieces.
