On our trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Hepworth Gallery, we saw many of Caro's pieces. I think that the scale that he works on, suits each piece that he creates; for example, the 'Childs Tower Room' was a large piece to give the sense of adventure and excitement. However a lot of Caro's work is smaller therefore implies that he may favour working on a smaller scale. The material that Caro uses varies, however the majority of his pieces were constructed from metal and were bright coloured as well as a lot of pieces being seen as their natural appearance. Some of Caro's smaller pieces, were placed on higher platforms to grab more attention from their audience; the larger pieces however were on too big of a scale to place onto an additional platform. Seeing the work physically definitely changed how I see his work, since in pictures you don't see the scale of the artwork and the physical shape of the sculpture.
There were many differences between the two Caro exhibitions. Firstly, a lot of the work in the YSP exhibit was on a smaller scale therefore it was harder to analyse it's structure. Whereas in the Hepworth gallery, the majority of the pieces on show were on a larger scale therefore were easy to analyse.
