Design Storytelling

Everything I make is to touch, and people usually do, which pleases me. It’s very important with sculpture not just to go sort of plonk, up and look, because it changes all the time. So the real thing for people is to move with their bodies. If I can make them do that, then I’m very happy.

The wonderfully inspiring Barbara Hepworth on her passion for making sculpture. You can get a lovely taster of her work in the excellent Tateshots series. Take a look here.

Oh my words! What fun Wordle is.. here’s a cloud to illustrate my @48HrMag piece on the Dutch Hustle that is Atelier Van Lieshout. It’s so appropriate you would have thought I’d designed it myself. This really is the graphic version of an AVL sculpture: colourful, blob-like and full of crap. I must create Wordles for all my long articles.
