Fold formed statue

Rock Form (Porthcurno), a statue by artist Barbara Hepworth from 1964 is located on Benjamin Franklin Parkway which is a wide boulevard that runs through the cultural heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I loved its shape and when I walked around it, I noticed that it looked like a giant tube that was pierced and fold formed. To cite a previous post of mine: "Metal smiths, including myself, use fold forming extensively, although on a completely different scale".
