Helen Ivory

Opis

Taking its title from an 18th-century anatomical wax sculpture of an idealised woman, Ivory's fifth collection examines how women have been portrayed as 'other'; as witches; as hysterics with wandering wombs; and as beautiful corpses cast in wax, or on mortuary slabs in TV box sets.
