Artist cuts press off about Pound (10)
I believe the answer is:
sculptress
'artist' is the definition.
(sculptress is a kind of artist)
'cuts press off about pound' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is present in the answer.
'pound' could be 'l' (abbreviation e.g. Lsd - pounds, shillings, pence) and 'l' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for sculptress that I've seen is " Woman who carves".)
