The first version of Carngalver appeared in bronze in 1967. Early in the year following this, Mitchell acquired some fibreglass and began work on a scaled up version of the same cast, this time using the innovative and atypical material. It was shown at the Bath Festival in 1969 and in 1979 at Mitchell's major solo show at the Glynn Vivian Gallery in Swansea, becoming an emblematic and recognisable form of Mitchell's work in this critical period.
