Laura ford in conversation with Leah Kharibian, Monday 25th July, The Drew Arms, Drewsteignton
Laura Ford, one of the foremost female sculptors currently working in the UK, came to prominence in the British Art Show 5, organised by the Hayward Gallery.
Her socially and politically charged figures exist between the realms of fantasy and reality, childhood and adulthood.
Ford works with a variety of materials, often using what is to hand, from fabric and found objects, to more traditional materials such as bronze and plaster.
Leah Kharibean is an independent writer and art historian and has published many books including Passionate Patrons: Victoria and Albert and the Arts.
