Barbara Hepworth - 'A New Form for Sculpture' | TateShots

Barbara Hepworth’s modernist sculpture was heavily influenced by natural landscapes and environmental forms. From St Ives to Greece she was inspired by the shapes and intrinsic characteristics of coastal lines and organic structures.
In this film, curator Chris Stephens spotlights the physical process and attention to detail behind Hepworth’s work. We also look at the raw materials she worked with and the visionary way she made the inside of the sculpture as prominent a feature as the outside.

brilliance personified

I hadn't heard her name since my first sculpture class at Community College. When we got to carve soapstone, we were required to put a hole in our piece somewhere. I kind of resented it, but it was a good lesson.
It's only upon revisiting her work in this video how relavent her themes were in my work later on. I love enclosing space with material, I keep going back to cages.
For my boyfriend I got a piece of white alabaster and made him an ivory tower, shaped like a flame, with tiny rooms bored into it. Hepworth's influence is everywhere, for me.

Continuing to learn more about Barbara Hepworth after seeing today's Google Doodle honoring her (August 25, 2020--see article at this link: www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/08/25/google-doodle-celebrates-famed-sculptor-barbara-hepworth/5631164002/). One of the sculptures shown in this video looks very much like the one pictured in the doodle (at 0:26 in the video).
