Leaving the Calder and Hebble Navigation, just a few metres from where I started my canalside walk is the Hepworth Wakefield, which sits alongside the River Calder. So, took a walk around its wildflower gardens, and came across this sculpture.
'Off Grid' is the first major UK exhibition of work by Sheila Hicks Born in Hastings, Nebraska in 1934, she attended Yale University School of Art and Architecture between 1954 and 1959, studying painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, architecture and art history. Working mainly in textiles, she has been exhibiting in the indoor galleries of the Hepworth Wakefield (though I've not visited inside for a while and it's now finished), and this is one of her outdoor exhibits.
Despite searching dozens of images of her work on t'internet, I can't find this particular one so can't put a name to it, and I've called it 'Monolith'! 😃
