At the Hepworth Gallery i did some sketches and took some photos of the gallery inside and these can be seen in my sketchbook. However for my blog i wanted to focus on what i saw from outside the gallery.
The structure of the gallery itself looks industrial and geometric. It is quite a simple looking building that somehow looks futuristic. I feel like the gallery presents itself like to contrast the variety of work inside it.
There was also a sculpture outside the gallery called 'The Black Cloud' created by Heather and Ivan Morison. I thought that the unusual shadows that the model created suggested clouds themselves as they moved along with the sun's movement. Also, the wood is a natural material which ties in with the natural form that the piece is named after. Finally i noticed a big screenprint hanging amongst what looked like old factory buildings outside the gallery that was advertising an upcoming exhibition. I found it interesting that something displaying a modern creation had been placed next to old, traditional buildongs. Again there seemed to be a purposeful contrast to attract attention and make the viewer question why.
