"Exceptionally funny, … a performance artist of quality and distinction. Box Story is her masterpiece… deeper, darker and finally more joyful than anything she has produced before… is a very serious artist indeed.' Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph

'A mixture of the absurd and the sacred, the inconsequential and the searing, a glorious celebration of the fact that small is beautiful and meaningful' - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

In a career spanning more than three decades, the 'irresistible housewife-superstar' - (Daily Telegraph) has produced an extensive repertoire of work including An Edible Family in a Mobile Home (1976) and Drawing on A Mother's Experience (1988). Bobby is currently collaborating with Professor Richard Hallam, researching How to Live - an exploration into the culture of self-help, funded by SciArt at the Wellcome Trust.
