”Louvel exploits the rhythm of Hepworth's words, releasing the voice recorded from its original location in St Ives and allowing it to swim across time to a different century. The sculptor's cut-glass Received Pronunciation might be off-putting for the modern ear, but waves of technological manipulation have eroded its edges, turning it into a dreamy meditation on the nature of creativity.” ‘The Sculptor Speaks’, Deborah Nash, The Wire, [print], October 2020, issue 440, p.90. https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/89752/page/90
