Visit Trewyn Studio in St Ives, Cornwall, the home, workshop and sculpture garden of Barbara Hepworth, one of the leading figures of modern British sculpture. She was among the first to pierce her sculptures with holes, opening up solid forms in stone, wood and later bronze, and drew on the Cornish landscape, sea and light. Her large bronze Single Form stands outside the United Nations headquarters in New York. See her tools, works in progress and sculptures set among the garden's plants, and hear about her process. Small group, casual conversation.

I'm a sculptor exploring the body, its representations, and the ambiguities of gender. My work draws on feminist and queer discourse to create forms that hold fragility and vulnerability alongside poetic force and active agency.
