Literature : Lord St John of Fawsley and Prof. V.T Wechter (1994) Stella Shawzin Recent Sculpture, page 6 and 7.
Notes : 'I have always found the female figure fascinating, the image in my mind has already been simplified before I start. No complicated bulging muscles, but gentle flowing curves. My figures, although reclining, are not static but full of movement. I use the suggestion of drapes to reveal the sinuous quality of inner muscular tensions. I emphasize these curves using the natural flow of line and direction.' - Stella Shawzin.
