Today's Art Exhibition

[Alexandra]

Wow, Hes! What kind of work? I like to browse in that gallery (though the prices are mostly beyond me) and I'd love to look at your stuff.

Must admit I've walked through the art gallery on a few occasions without properly viewing, simply because you have to go through some of the exhibition rooms to get to the only toilets in the central library/art gallery building.

One day soon I'll have a proper look.

Probably not easy for you if relying on public transport Alexandra but the Yorkshire Sculpture Park just off J 38 of the M1 is well worth a visit.

Yes, I have been, sculpture in the open air is wonderful, but the exhibitions at the YSP are a bit variable. Worth another visit, though, when I'm in mourning after the Henry Moores have been taken away. But that won't be for a while. There are footpaths that traverse the YSP, I think - it might be fun to contrive a run to and through it, and that might help with the transport problem.

The Jaume Plensa exhibition down there is well worth seeing - I went a few weeks back - after a run around local footpaths and bridleways first of course!

Visited the Tate in St Ives they seem to roll the same stuff out every couple of years. couple of new exhibitions were; a crab Video installation) being bullied at night by an artist with a torch and the atrium full of white Balloons, which I thought was quite interesting because it made me think about space and matter, not a play area the gallery supervisor a infomed me though.

I've just been up to visit Cold Stones Cut at Greenhow near Pateley Bridge. Very phallic piece of land art by the quarry but well worth a visit even if only for the great 360 degree view.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean Hes......

I love the YSP, particularly the recent David Nash exhibition and also the Andy Goldsworthy one that was on a year or so ago. Its a great place to go for a walk with some culture thrown in or culture with a breath of fresh air. The Deer Shelter is great for some quiet reflection too!

I'm a printmaker and have about half a dozen prints in the racks there. I just sold a couple so I'll have to restock them. My website is www.hestercox.com if you fancy a look...no transport necessary!

Beautiful prints, Hes. I particularly love some of the pictures of birds in the Home folder. Have torn myself away for now, but look forward to exploring more folders in future. Very impressed by your CV - how on earth do you find time and energy to run as well as all that?
