Looking through my
archives, I thought the late and deeply lamented Helen Chadwick’s EGO GEOMETRIA
SUM might amuse Laura.
Helen Chadwick was a hyper-active
maker and shaper of things, she was studious, she loved to make extravagant
experiments, and she was addicted to self-portraiture mixed with laughter.

She then moved on to produce the set of works named THE
OVAL COURT

You will need to check out the large set of forty five V&A
images … clicketty-click to access the complete set
