One of the most fascinating and enjoyable visits we had in Glasgow. On arrival, having seen the large reclaimed wooden facade, I did not know what to expect. When inside I was immediately taken in by the fantasy world they had created and felt myself getting lost in my own imagination. It was all inspired by ‘Vestiges Of The Natural History Of Creation’, which was published by an unknown scottish journalist - predating Darwin's Origin Of The Species by roughly 15 years. I imagine that this publication has remained largely unknown. The main thing that I took away from Vestige Park was the idea that an unused "wasteland" could be turned into a place with such an impact. Walking down the street you would never know what crazy things were going on inside. Being interested in transforming unused land for creative acts I was glad have to seen the park. I envisioned myself being part of the team putting it all together. For me being outside, even with the rain, would be perfect - sometimes a studio can be restrictive. Having a bit of secluded land to do as you please sounds good to me.
