Specialist note

”I would call it attitude…the way that you can make something almost talk by the way the neck is bent, or the attitude of the head; you can actually make these sculptures talk, they say something according to exact balance, whereas if they’re absolutely straight…well, I suppose that’s saying something, too.” – Lynn Chadwick
