“I chose Carisbrooke Park because I had never been before. I loved the fact that it is on a hill. I love views where you are looking up or down and the Park is very undulating and rolling. It’s really about where the light is going and how the Park had been laid out. I’m always trying to lead the eye through the work. We seem to walk through things without really noticing them. When I find myself surrounded by inspiration in the world, it is often sudden and instinctual. What follows is a methodical need and sincere examination of how it affects the world within me. I try to capture the ordinary and make it a little extraordinary. I try to get people to look at things differently.” - Ross Penhall
