Barbara Hepworth


Barbara Hepworth is a British sculptor who works with bronze and plaster. She often creates spherical forms with complex sculpted interiors, sometimes using wire strands to connect elements in the sculpture. Like Deacon; line and surface seem to be very important factors in her work. I enjoy he pictured oval sculpture because it satisfies a curiosity to look within a solid object (the boundary of which is indicated by the dark shell), and imagine what might exist therein. I like the edge quality she has achieved and the seamless transition of curves.
