Vogue, October 1998
In a large barn deep in the Cotswolds, Candida Bond is chiselling and hammering in preparation for her first solo exhibition. "I feel as though I'm exposing myself", admits Candida who until recently was apprentice to the world-famous sculptor David Wynne (Londoners know him best for the Queen Mother's Gates on Park Lane). Although she has a small studio for the more diminutive bronzes, the barn is where she carves her giant Brancusi-esque limestone pieces. "The block I'm working on now is three and a half tons," says Candida. "You also need a huge amount of space because the process is so dirty. Most of the time I look like a grey-haired old woman from all the dust".
