"Celia Scott attempts to rescue figurative sculpture from its exclusively classical connotations, while at the same time employing the visual and formal language of classical method. Scott's work sets itself apart from the current architectural and artistic landscape, highlighting moments in the collective memory against the backdrop of modern experience." "With a fascinating essay by theorist and critic Alan Colquhoun, this is the first complete look at Scott's sculptural practice, and the influences that shape her choice of subject and form."--Jacket.
