Description: Information sheet on Mirror Knife Edge, 1977 bronze, providing information on the commission and works by Moore leading up to the bronze. Aspects of the human figure and other natural forms are subtly discernible... Rounded curves meet sharp edges. The larger weighty volume swells like a hillside or maternal breast in contrast to the small piece which relates to it like a sheer wedge of bone or cliff. The work is a study in oppositions: two parts seemingly both male and female and dramatically juxtaposed yet they evoke the essence of a whole.""
