Tol’s physical structure directly references Itea, a print by Barbara Hepworth from the Aegean Suite, 1971. The title points to the ancient Mên-an-Tol stone formation which Reynolds passes each day on her journey to the studio. Pictured on the printed glass one image has been taken from Daphne du Maurier’s book, Vanishing Cornwall. A text fragment printed onto the glass is from Du Maurier, conveying the ritual significance of the holed stone for women in history. The other image incorporated in the sculpture is of Godrevy lighthouse, another local landmark that is said to have inspired Virginia Woolf’s novel To The Lighthouse.
