Provenance Private collection. Exhibited Red Rag Gallery, Bath 2005 Clifton Arts Club, Bristol Katharine House Gallery, Marlborough, until 2010. Catalogue notes The title came about because of my keen interest in the unity that could be created between two forms....thinking of a harmonious marriage. Two forms, that although individual, can't exist independently....so it was all about unity and 'marriage'. In Greek conversation I had misheard the word for marriage as pantemenos whereas it should be - pantremenos. But I thought pantemenos sounded better and 'abstract', so I continued to use my made-up word as a title for several dual pieces from then onwards, VII being the last variation, the first was a dual slate carving 1967.Margaret Lovell.
