Great trip to Storm King. What a place. I would have spent the entire day there exploring every nook and cranny in order to fine everything. As I walked around the place I was astonished at the size of the location and just how much sculpture was placed throughout the vast park. From a distance some of the biggest sculptures do not seem to be that large but after walking and walking and walking I quickly realized the distance between the work. I was really struck by the work by Mark di Suvero not only by the size of the work but the importance of movement. One small piece near the museum building would spin. While a larger piece in the largest open meadow not only would part of it spin but it also made a fantastic sound when struck by the provided rubber mallet. The size of the metal created a strong base tone that shook through my entire body. It was about this time that the sky began to open up and we got to experience a storm on Storm King. The lightening struck the mountains around and the rain began to fall. I thought it wise to get as far away from the 60 foot metal sculptures as quickly as possible. I took shelter by the Andy Goldsworthy wall and waited a few minutes for the ran to stop. We were soaked but ended up having a wonderful time. I defiantly need to go back.
