Helen Chadwick

Known now primarily for her seeping lurid photo-works and piss flower sculptures, Chadwick’s early ventures were often performative ones. Chadwick’s interest in the internal body, sex and Feminism ran throughout her practice – as well as being an important artist, she left a legacy as an adored tutor influencing the next generation of artists across all forms.
