Barbara Hepworth, Sea Forms, 1969 father stone and paperBarbara Hepworth saw printmaking as an opportunity to work on ideas that would eventually translate into sculpture. However, it would be too simplistic to view this as a one way relationship with the prints merely acting as surrogate sketches for future sculptures. In fact, in the case of Sea Forms, the original prints are embossed so that they literally enter the third dimension.
