Barbara Hepworth didn’t sculpt with the finished product in mind. Her unprecedented sensitivity to the materials allowed her to improvise, creating works that reflect not only their materials but the locations they would occupy. Through the use of direct carving and abstract shaping, Hepworth’s work analyzed the duality between mass and space. She emphasized how "absence" within sculpture is just as important as "presence” by hollowing or perforating parts of her art.
