Edition 5 of 10 with two AP's.

Signed and numbered on the reverse.

Penrose has commented on this photograph:

"I think this picture will always be my favourite because it was the first time that I made sense of what I was doing. I felt the rush of "Oh my God, this is what I've been waiting for." It's about my body fitting in and around and combining with what's there in the space. Such an exciting moment.... I felt like a mad woman in the attic leaping around on old furniture!"
