From the moment she burst upon the wider public stage  there has been no doubting her remarkable talent. Picked out while still at the Royal College of Art by the late Elisabeth Frink as a fellow spirit  she quickly established an immediate presence among the artists of her generation as a serious and substantial figure. She was remarkable on every count  for she flew in the face of the critical expectations of those days not just in the nature of the actual imagery she celebratedfigurative  romantic and expressivebut also in the direct and gleeful joy she took in the physical making of these things. This book is a visual celebration of her work and features essays written by Will Self  Max Porter  Candia McWilliam and David Mamet.
