Hepworth Wakefield Gallery...

The Sculpture Black Cloud by Heather and Ivan Morison, is a towering wooden pavilion inspired by the amazonian dwellings of the Yanomamo tribe. Constructed using the Amish principles of communal participation, it is protected from the elements by an ancient Japanese scorching technique. To be honest I'm not really sure how I feel about this piece.
This is an image of one of the sculptures created by Barbara Hepworth and with an enormous amount of respect, her work in my opinion I just don't really like. Although I agree that the finish to the piece is obviously done skillfully the overall piece I just feel is simple and uninspiring.
This is an image of the floor that the sculpture Black Cloud sits on and I just really liked how the circle pattern overlapped and cuts off the other individual squares. I also like the colours and the way in which the colours are separated.
I unfortunately didn't note down the name of the artist who created this piece but i did like it. The individual strands which make up the ball don't seem to have an even width or neatness to them which I like and they almost look quite careless as if not much effort has been put into them, however I'm sure it has. Furthermore the occasional use of colour throughout the piece just makes it overall a lot more friendly and pleasant.
