YSP 2

Yorkshire Sculpture Park [link] contains some of the best sculpture to be seen in Britain. Set in 500 acres of fine country near Wakefield and Huddersfield, YSP hosts work by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Miro, Caro, Gormley, and many many others. Unfortunately, my photographs of the sculptures were not very inspiring, except perhaps for the couple shown here. Some other shots of the Park itself were more successful.

Sophie Ryder [link] is well known for her enormous sculptures of anthropomorphic hares. This is a close up of the head of one such work, showing not only the incorporation of industrial and domestic items in the fabric of the work, but also an example of the famous "duck/hare" illusion, beloved by Gestalt psychologists. You probably see the head of a hare with its long ears pointing to the left. However, if you adjust your vision you may suddenly see this as the head of a duck, the ears having become the bill. Masking off the right hand side of the head may help.
