This statue was created by Nicholas Dimbleby at the suggestion of Elizabeth Sigmund as a memorial to Sylvia Plath. It was cast in bronze from a terra-cotta maquette and is one of an edition of 10. Sigmund had wanted a full-sized statute that would possibly be placed in Dartington Hall Gardens, however only the smaller version was created. Plath had dedicated her novel The Bell Jar to Sigmund.
