Land art and site specific sculpture - land art uses
the environment and its scale as its material. Concrete art is expressed in
material itself with which the artist introduces her non-representational objective.
Public art can be viewed and accessed by observers.
Barbara Hepworth's
Trewyn studio
in St Ives a month after she died, during the summer of 1975.
During the summer of 1975 I visited Cornwall and the town
of St Ives about which Henry Moore had told me a few years
earlier and, of course I had read about the attraction which
it had always had for international artists. Its remote
situation on the south-western tip of Cornwall gives one the
feeling of being almost alone and able to concentrate
without unwanted disturbances.
I found a B&B place. The owner used t be the butcher from
whom Barbara Hepworth used to buy her meat-wares. So I did
not have to search long for the studio.
