Hagstone

Art that explores motherhood, the female form and femininity.

Air in my lungs and fire in my belly
Barbara Hepworths work in Wakefield

I went to the Hepworth gallery in Yorkshire and was blown away by the space and how dynamic her sculptures are in person. How she created small sketches and plans at night while running a nursery and rearing triplet boys is an incredible feat. I love how diligent and focused she was in her career.

The shapes, palette and patterns in her work was something I could identify with in my own practice
Love the shapes and undulating forms
Her sculptures feel like they’re having a concert with each other. Chatty stones
This one reminded me of an open book
There is something really feminine and uniquely pagan about her work
