Edwina Sandys

[2] After attending a genteel girls’ school she went to Paris, then had a job "answering the doorbell" for a dress designer, and a stint as a secretary.

[3] Sandys' work titled "Breakthrough", at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, features eight sections of the Berlin Wall.

[5] The silhouette cutouts from the Wall segments became the premise of another work, "BreakFree", displayed at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York.

Sandys also worked with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, located in Rolla, Missouri, to use a new way to make deep cuts in granite to create the Millennium Arch sculpture which stands across the campus from their Stonehenge monument.

Edwina describes her reasoning behind the sculpture, explaining that though she is not a religious person, she felt the need to represent women within what's often considered the most important image: Jesus on the cross.
