What I like about Yorkshire Sculpture Park is the diversity. Jaume Plensa, although naive to some, is focused on the idea of language, thoughts and emotions surrounding his sculptures. I really like this concept, although it may seem childish, I like the combination of text and characters with sculptures and people. When it comes to Henry Moore, I much prefer his sculptures that focus on shape and form rather than the human figure, I find his figures admirable but there is a certain dislike I feel that I can't place. However, his giant sculptures that express curves and forms are really beautiful. Then there is also Antony Caro's Promenade - which seems eerie when you stand in front of it. I can imagine them as almost human beings waiting, and I like the mysterious quality. Then there are the trees strewn with almost junk, these are some of the most interesting sculptures I have seen, however, I dislike that they are mainly about concept rather than the actual making of a sculpture.
