Notes : "The work draws its inspiration from the Eden myth, and it is a wonderfully succinct, condensed, symbolic expression of the theme. The massive, matriarchal angel's wing combines sheer delicate beauty with a powerful, threatening awesomeness. There is high tension of contrast between the menacing aspect and the gracefulness. The display of the open wing is in inverted contrast with the sadness of the closed breast." - Margaret Hitge1 1. Margaret Hitge (n.d.) 'Judith Mason', in Heine Toerien and Georges Duby (ed), Our Art 3, Pretoria: The Foundation for Education, Science and Technology, publishers of Lantern, page 13 to 14.
