Well finding abandoned asylums to visit is not proving to be very fruitful, but I will not give up.
So far there is Storths Hall in Huddersfield, nearly falling down and too dangerous, so had to put that one to bed.
The first one I'm going to visit is the Mental Health Museum in Wakefield formally known as Fieldhead Hospital, obviously High Royds is five minutes away but wanted to explore other areas.
Google is a funny old thing, all sorts of options come when you type abandoned asylums/mental hospitals into the search box, scary, haunted, spooky and creepiest places to visit. Of course my agenda is to create something spooky and ghostly, I need ideas and material to feed my dark soul.
So it's a start at least and I did come across some photos that had wax poured over them, this technique is called Encaustic and I will be exploring it further, I think you see my point with this example.
