As part of a previous module I was on doing this degree we visited Hannah Peschar's Sculpture Park - something that I wasn’t entirely sure about at first - I suppose I’m not a great believer of Sculpture Parks and my general opinion of them is that there just gardens (some lovely gardens/some not so lovely) which pieces of random art placed in various spaces. I properly being a little too quick to assume here but some of the pieces at Hannah’s didn’t really change my opinion at all. I just think all of the sculptures aren’t permanent there just there to sell and I’m not really sure that’s what sculpture should be about, I hate the idea that there’s no story behind the work and no relation to the sculpture and the area in which its been placed - ok sometimes maybe it can be placed it a good position with maybe some kind of meaning however I just don’t think when the artist or sculptor where building these pieces they had the exact place where Hannah has now placed them in mind and its a shame.
Good points to the garden - well the setting was lovely and the different areas to the location were also exciting we seemed to always want to see what was round the corner or what there was the other side of the water. And I places the sculptures helped move people around the garden in an exciting way making sure the viewer saw everything throughout the space!
However generally I did enjoy the trip and here shows some various pieces throughout the park/garden...
One of my favouites.. The Anthony Paul Look-a-Like! Hehe..
