SCULPTURE

“I the sculptor am the landscape”

Whenever I drive through the countryside and up the hills, I imagine forms placed in situations of natural beauty and I wish more could be done about the permanent siting of sculptures in strange and lonely places.

This intermingling of art and life was central to Hepworth. Just as she lived with nature so she lived with her sculptures: “It’s lovely to live with a sculpture, because it changes in every possible light; all through the day, moonlight, artificial light – any light – it’s always changing”

“Our fingers are our tools” was an instruction Josef Albers gave to students before inviting them to explore simple materials like straw, corrugated cardboard, and newspaper.
