Yorkshire Sculpture Park - Ursula Von-Rydingvard.

May bank holiday, and for once, we are all at home and together!  So we headed out on this beautiful day to YSP, which is a favourite spot of ours.  Since our Chatsworth pass we haven't really been, but since we are planning a trip to Chatsworth tomorrow, I figured we could venture elsewhere today.



Some amazing sculptures on display by New York artist, Ursula Von Rydingsvard.  Work based around the manipulation of wood. The kids really enjoyed exploring the indoor sculptures, the forms were interesting and taken from many different sources of inspiration.  Evan noted particularly the piece which looked like a water feature with differing sized pools which could conceivably contain water.






 At first this sculpture looked like paper, but on closer inspection it looked much more natural, and the plant-like veins led us to conclude that it came form an animal - I thought stomach, but was told intestine.
This was my favourite piece indoors, and was a simple ring, here is a close up of the construction.

  1. the YSP is amazing, we haven't been for ages, but you can just loose yourself in all the sculptures and lovely walks. xxx
