HELEN CHADWICK

The first ever critical biography of Helen Chadwick, who died tragically young but is now revered as a pioneering feminist artist. Helen Chadwick (19531996) embraced the sensuous aspects of the natural world, breaking taboos of the traditional or beautiful. Her sculpture, performance and photography is radical, provocative and often steeped in humour, and employs unusual, sometimes grotesque materials bodily fluids, meat, flowers, chocolate and compost among them.
