One of the more striking works on show at Jonathan Baldock’s solo exhibition ‘Touch Wood’ at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is a cheeky, colourful character exposing their buttocks. It forms part of a series of new pieces in ceramic, textile and basketry that were all created especially for YSP by the British artist, whose work is saturated with humour and wit, as well as an unsettling, macabre quality that channels his longstanding interest in myth and folklore.
