The Socrates Sculpture Park was, for me at least, a little underwhelming. Although some of the works on display were phenomenal I found myself distracted by the overgrown grass, the unclearly marked trails, and the fact that, on more than one occasion, I found myself mired in muck and mud. Yet, all was not lost, although the container house on the premises was not one of the pieces technically on display it was the element which brought me the most joy. I have long been fascinated by the idea of using sturdy, abundant, and affordable shipping containers as human habitats. The container house at the Sculpture Park was a fantastic example complete with porch and elevated greenhouse. I could not help but to feel envious of its occupants.
