The sculpture park was most probably the best combination of inspiration and exercise I've ever embarked upon. For first timers like myself I can't imagine how you could get a sense of the scale and surrounding atmosphere without spending the whole day exploring.
The fact that all the sculptures were either bleeding into or protruding from the natural landscape was exciting as well as engaging. Although you are aware that these are man made at the same time you can't help but feel as though you are discovering something new and special and even a little magical.
The experience stretched from points that felt as though you'd found a forgotten relic to others that gave me visions of a giant alien returning to collect forgotten goods. It's hard to explain how the sculptures are so diverse and yet still sit amongst nature and each other so comfortably.
Visiting the park has inspired me to look at external exhibition spaces and even into the sculpture process itself. I hope to be able to work with 3D artist or masons at some point in the future in order to develop some similar skills through collaboration.
