Helen Chadwick: Body and Landscape
Wednesday 22 July
An ARTIST ROOMS exhibition in partnership with Tate and National Galleries of Scotland.
Explore our new exhibition to discover work by Helen Chadwick, one of the most inventive artists of her generation. Inspired by her exploration of the human body and the natural world, create a life-sized body map. Trace your own body, map it with the landscape of Pembrokeshire and fill with things that you love.
Note for parents:
Helen Chadwick explored the human body using unusual materials in surprising ways. Her work invites us to think about what it means to be human and how we connect with the natural world.
Some artworks in the exhibition include nudity, images of meat from a butcher’s shop, and microscopic images of human body cells. These works may inspire curiosity and spark conversations about what our bodies do.
