Divided Self (Speakers' Corner), 1974, by Rose Finn-Kelcey.
"Inventive artist, influenced by the feminist movement, whose work combined ironic humour with deep seriousness.
Rose Finn-Kelcey, who has died aged 68 from motor neurone disease, was one of the most imaginative and inventive artists of her generation. No two works of hers are physically alike; each represents a fresh challenge, often to attempt the seemingly impossible – for example, to build a machine that would produce a perfect cube of mist floating in the gallery air, as in Steam Installation at the Chisenhale Gallery in east London (1992). An acute blend of ironic humour and deep seriousness informed her work, whether it was a performance, a gallery installation, or a public commission."
