On Thursday 29th September I visited Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I took a trip here to generate ideas for the Tapton Grove project. The first pieces of work I looked at were by Jaume Plensa. His work ranged from the largest gongs and polyester resin humans right down to the tiniest models of his work and mixed media pieces. I felt he seemed to relate a lot of the work in the two beginning rooms we looked at 'depression, anxiety' and other unhappy emotions. His worked continued through other rooms to show connections with religion and continuing with the theme of unhappiness. A lot of his work also looked at using poetry in connection with something else. For example the glass squares at the beginning of the building showed paragraphs of poetry going down the door way.
[Artists visited; Jaume Plensa, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Sophie Ryder......... unfinished ]
All of these artists seemed to use the human form as inspiration for their work in some way. Jaume Plensa used the human form in the most obvious way. Where as if we compare his work to that of Barbara Hepworth we can see that she has taken a more abstract approach when she has looked at the human form. [Unfinished draft]
