For many years the way forms move, either visually as one moves around them, or literally by using some kinetic energy, has been at the heart of Chadwick’s fascination with sculpture. They are often reminiscent of organic forms or processes found in nature, moving sea urchins or pond skaters, or the way oil and water repel each other into droplets, communicating a childhood wonder at how things work.
