Jaume Plensa Exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

I went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park again yesterday.  It's half term, so it was a great opportunity to immerse my son Freddy in a bit of culture.  Also, when I went last week the Jaume Plensa exhibit wasn't fully open to the public, so this was my first chance to see the work inside the Underground Gallery.

These are breathtaking - and the pictures do not show their ethereal quality

There are pulsating lights above these sculptures, which has the effect of making the carved
stone pieces look like holographic images

Three trips to Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the past month is more than sufficient to gather ample research and ideas for a new collection of work. No more avoidance tactics - head down.
