However the irony is her family's structure was collapsing. It appears as though art was and escape for her and and gift to make her children happy in attempt to compensate for their struggles. At this time she began to use colour and strings in many of the carvings of this time. The colour in the concavities symbolised depth of water, shadow and life.

Hepworth and her husband, Ben Nicholson, formed a useful friendship with Norman Capener, the surgeon who treated Sarah. This relationship allowed Hepworth to witness a variety of surgical procedures enabling her to illustrate this life event. Her skills as a draughtsperson strongly influenced her practice as a sculptor.

You can vaguely construe that the piece resembles a human form in the foetal position linking to the theme of the sculpture. Furthermore, this sculpture was highly significant in Arps's journey as an artist as it was the first sculpture he made leaning more towards surrealism and abstraction after his time apart of the dada movement.]]> 2022-02-20 17:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/400952301/84r7b11jp69usi8p/wish/2057502286 400952301 https://padlet.com/400952301/84r7b11jp69usi8p/wish/2057506479 Kristine Tillge Lund is a modern biomorphic surrealism artist whom makes minimal sculptures. The term “biomorphic” came into use in the 1930s to describe surrealist paintings and sculptures that were abstract, yet referred to or evoked living forms such as the human body, or plants.
