Laura Ford (born 6 February 1961) in Cardiff , Wales,[1] sculptor . She is currently president of the Royal Society of Sculptors .[2]
Early life
[ edit ]
Growing up in a travelling fairground family, Ford was educated at Stonar School in Wiltshire , and then at Bath Academy of Art from 1978 to 1982,[3] Cooper Union School of Art in New York City .

"Weeping Girls"
Marcello Spinelli wrote (British Art Show 5): "Ford's creatures are faithful representations of fantasy and, at times, a nightmarish imagination. With their bitter-sweet, menacing and endearing qualities, her stuffed animals and dolls appeal to childhood memories and inhabit a world we immediately recognize as somewhat familiar."[This quote needs a citation
