We are grateful to Dr Sophie Bowness for her assistance with the cataloguing apparatus for this work. Dr Sophie Bowness is preparing the revised catalogue raisonné of Hepworth’s sculpture.
'I arranged in my studio, opposite my bed, a mirror which reflects the rising morning sun – for half an hour with incredible splendour this moving & focused source of light travels slowly over the nine sculptures in its path – Hollows & piercings, forms within forms, strings & features, volume & space are animated to a new vibration of life & every form & contour, known so intimately by my hands, reveals its proper significance'
(Barbara Hepworth letter to Herbert Read, January 1953 in Sophie Bowness, Barbara Hepworth: The Sculptor in the Studio, London, 2017, p. 28)
