Dame Barbara Hepworth, a sculptor born in West Yorkshire, England, who lived in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, worked in an oversized, cocoon silhouette. Most, if not all, of her work, was influenced by St. Ives in Cornwall, England, after moving there with partner Ben Nicholson. She found an interest in the tension in the landscapes there where she noticed a tension between nature, air, water and herself etc. Hepworth used circular forms as details that reflected the outside, in - and vice versa. After visiting The Hepworth Wakefield in West Yorkshire, I observed and was inspired by Hepworth’s way of using her sculptures to curate the space they are in. I therefore developed my inspiration into ideas of how to pay homage to her style in silhouette and forms where I worked with a muted colour palette - greys, whites and beiges. By completing this project, I gathered knowledge, techniques and processes used in two and three-dimensional creative practices. I also explored and experimented with practical skills and experienced how a designer works from concept to final outcome.
