I remember the Wood Room. I liked that best.

Coming here 4 years ago with a group of young people who had never, never been to a place showing 'Art.' They were shocked and amazed and that they too could see and experience this wondrous, weird place. Thanks.

The other worldliness of James Turrell's Light Installations. For me it was the most amazing experience, being so transformed with just a few steps from a corridor into a room. Utterly mind blowing. Antony Gormley's Field for the British Isles was also totally engaging and fantastic. These exhibitions really inspired me, and continue to do so whenever I remember them.

Camelia House at ysp

The cold at midsummer in the Camellia house, steamed glass; trying to sleep outside at dawn, the sounds of the birds so loud; and Alex crying at the end - all from the 24 hour renga.

Day out with my young daughter (just walking) and a friend and her baby to see an exhibition of Shona sculpture in September 1990. A perfect combination of friendship, motherhood, art and glorious late summer sunshine.

Today is our 25th wedding anniversary. No big parties for us, but a lovely day in the sculpture park. Our first visit here, and well worth it as we have the best of both worlds, we both love the countryside and art. In another 25 years when we celebrate our golden wedding anniversary, we will remember today with affection.

The Zimbabwean warrior glinting in the sun with the long shadows of winter light is a clear memory for me. It was sometime after Independence and a symbol of the post-colonial era. The exhibition of the Zimbabwean sculptures in the Yorkshire landscape with the Barbara Hepworth and the Henry Moore's seemed apposite.
