Specialist note

'A Mitchell is a form, usually a single, rather stream-lined form enclosed as it were by a single skin - but a skin or surface which weaves and bends and buckles and stretches' (Patrick Heron quoted in exhibition catalogue, Denis Mitchell Sculptor, Penwith Galleries, St. Ives, 1992, p. 13).
