This work is one of the few carved by Hepworth employing a technique called 'Direct Carving', first introduced by the French artist Constantin Brancusi. The method, uses no models or sculptural maquettes prior to his production, but rather the final form of the sculpture emerges through the act of carving the material. This technique emphasises the inherent properties of the materials.
‘The closed form, such as the oval, spherical or pierced form (sometimes incorporating colour) … translates for me the association and meaning of gesture in landscape’ (Hepworth 1971).
