#January 10, 1903
#OTD Dame Barbara Hepworth, British #Sculptor & #Artist, is born.
Her #Trewyn #Studio home in #StIves, #Cornwall, was her #Muse & #Sanctuary.
She wanted her pieces to live outdoors where they could "grow."
The #Circle cutouts help us see other realms.
Barbara died at 72 from a fire after falling asleep smoking in bed.
Today, Trewyn is a 5-Star #Museum & Sculpture #Garden maintained by the #Tate.
Barbara crystalized her work this way,
"I, the sculptor, am the #Landscape."
