Tate Project:
To Touch
Synopsis & Concept:
The journey of an artist’s mind, Barbara Hepworth, is narrated by traveling to the abstract world representing the engagement of the sculptor and the viewers.
The brief is the mind of an artist leading to interpretation and express it through animation. This animation was inspired by the quote of Barbara Hepworth which is about her thought therefore the keys were drawn on these which are all about the engagement between the audiences and her artwork.
