“… I’d like to give them [people] a pet… I think every sculpture must be touched.

It’s part of the way you make it… Our first sensibility is the sense of feeling when we’re born…

I think every person when looking at a sculpture, should use their own body.

With a sculpture you must walk around it, bend towards it, touch it, walk away from it. …“

Barbara Hepworth from ‘Barbara Hepworth Sculptress’ (1972)
