Specialist note

'[They] are perhaps a comment on where we're heading: as far as I can see, towards a new dark age in human relations. They are about peace and freedom of spirit: people who have been through the horrors and got through to the other side. They are not political prisoners, but maybe they were'

(Dame Elisabeth Frink, quoted in A. Ratuszniak (ed.), op. cit., p. 130)
