The stylizations, omissions and simplifications of the earlier sculpture are now handled with greater confidence and compositional skill. The graceful juxtapositions of the head resting on the hand and, in turn, the elbow on the high give these sculptures a pleasing fluidity.” (Bodies Transformed, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 27).
