One of my favourite things from the trip to Glasgow was the visit to this temporary park, Vestiges Park. A group of artists took over a piece of wasteland next to the sculpture studios for the time of the glasgow international art fair and turned it into a sculpture park.We were introduced to Kirsty Shindler from Low Salt and some of her collegues who help to look after and build the park.
One of the freakiest things in the park was this shed, it was filled with hands. The hand on the door was disgusting, so realistic and squashy, bleugh!
One cool interactive part of the park was making plastercine models and postioning them in this rockery. I made a whalephone. There were some really intersting little models in there.
I loved how these artists had turned what was a dump into something with beauty and mystery. As you walked through this park you wondered what was coming next and the witty nature of the art works here was intreguing.
