Footnotes
- EXHIBITED:
London, W H Patterson, 2008.
The artist has said of her sculpture:
"A face that is featureless can be, through the tilt of the head, as expressive as a face with features and have more impact because the simplification avoids distraction. Visually I want the body to be seen as a whole. The movement of the head, the turn of the hip, the curve of the back can be full of expression."
