Excerpt: Laura Ford (born 1961) is a Welsh artist and sculptor who has exhibited her work at the British Art Show and represented Wales at Venice Biennale. She is recognised internationally as one of the UK's leading sculptors and is included in important museum collections worldwide Ford was born in Cardiff, Wales in 1961. She was born into a family of Welsh showmen who travelled the fairgrounds of Wales and South West England; wintering at her grandfather Charles Yeates' farm, a former zoo, near Cardiff. As a child travelling on the fairground, Ford has said that her favourite sideshow attraction was a "huge figure of Frankenstein's monster". She recalled, to The Daily Telegraph in 2003, that the figure would leap out of the booth and chase her, noting: You knew perfectly well that it would happen, but it was always incredibly exciting. It is that uncertainty I am aiming for in my work. She studied at Bath Academy of Art (1978-82)which included a highly influential term of study at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. Completing her Bachelor's degree with a First, she was included in the Institute of Contemporary Arts New Contemporaries Exhibition at London's Serpentine Gallery in the summer of 1983. Her Master's degree followed at the Chelsea School of Art (1982-83) where she met her partner, fellow sculptor, Andrew Sabin. Ford and Sabin toured, traveled and lectured on art in India for a year in 1985. Thus far in her career Ford has shown her work at over 20 different solo venues and over 45 group exhibitions. Numerous different organisations have collections of her work, including: the Tate Gallery in London, Penguin Books and Prudential.
