Yorkshire Sculpture Park - Outdoor art

Hello and Good Morning. Let's take a look at the outdoor sculptures. 
Not something you would expect to see in a country park. A gigantic pregnant woman. 

And here is a video of the same sculpture. 
Lots more to look at. Come with me and I will show you around. 





A giant steel handbag. 


Two sides of the same piece. Tiny pieces stuck on a circular base. 






Took me a few minutes to work this out. Back to back LOVE.
LOVE x 4. Reversed and upside down. 



Did I mention that I have been here before? Here are the links to previous posts. 

I think I need to find some new places to visit. Perhaps I will return to YSP in a few years time. 
Another sunny day today. Post office this morning, Billy dog walk this afternoon. Catch ya later.

    I’ve seen that pregnant woman- very impressive and somewhat startling! A bunch of school children were fascinated by it. What a setting for a human biology lesson!

      It does look impressive when you see the complete body on one side as you approach it. From a distance it looks harmless enough. Then walk around it and see all the innards with the skin peeled back. A bit of a shock.

      They certainly do stand out in a rural setting.

    That sculpture of the handbag isn't just any old bag, it's a Hermès Birkin bag, one of the most coveted handbags in the world! I don't have one!

      It is a rusty Hermes bag. It would benefit from a coat of paint.

Was closed, then it was open, now it is closed again. Oooops, open again, but it might close soon. Yes, closed for now. Open again. Sorry closed again. Now it is open.
