Occasional spots, else, clean, bright and tight.

Very good/ very good Helen Chadwick (1953�1996) was a British sculptor, photographer and installation artist, whose subject was herself. More than "a definitive collection of her work," Enfleshings offers a "cumulative, evolving portrait"; it includes Of Mutability, Chadwick's important 1989 solo exhibition. Nominated for the 1987 Turner Prize, Chadwick was an important and innovative figure in the British art world.
