If Not Now, When? Generations of Women in Sculpture in Britain, 1960 – 2022
In 1989 I was invited to complete a form sent to me and other female sculptors by the sculptor Lorna Green as part of her M.Phil thesis: The Position and Attitudes of Contemporary Women Sculptors in Britain 1987-89, in which we were questioned about our experiences and challenges as female sculptors. Griselda Pollock continued the survey with Green in 2022, working with the researchers Dr Anna Douglas and Dr Kerry Harker, with a comparative study of contemporary female sculptors, and to date hundreds of female sculptors have contributed to the survey. The result has been the exhibition‘If Not Now, When?’ first shown at The Hepworth Wakefield where 29 works were selected and touring to Saatchi Gallery.
