Lot Essay

We are very grateful to Sarah Chadwick for her assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.

'The important thing in my figures is always the attitude - what the figures are expressing through their actual stance. They talk as it were, and this is something a lot of people don’t understand.'
Lynn Chadwick
