Jaume Plensa

Visiting the Jaume Plensa exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park I found myself immersed in a moving sensory world of meaning. I enjoyed the way the work provoked multiple senses, tracing the letters with my fingers and listening to the deeply resonant sound of the brass gongs.

I was most deeply moved by the room filled with massive alabaster heads and it hit a note of deep spirituality in me. The notes in my journal were my thoughts there and then...

alabaster heads

tomb-like   asleep or dead?

memorial, meditative

calm but not sleeping?

subtle shading and smooth texture like a black and white photo.

Listening to deep resonance of a gong

soft light of tinkling metal letters

sublime, spiritual, moving

deeply affecting
