Bobby Baker (b. 1950, Kent, lives and works in London) is a pioneering artist whose intersectional feminist practice spans performance, drawing, and installation. Since the 1970s, her work has explored the overlooked and stigmatised aspects of women’s daily lives, as seen in Drawing on a Mother’s Experience (1988) and Kitchen Show (1991). A remake of her acclaimed 1976 sculptural installation An Edible Family in a Mobile Home was presented as part of the landmark exhibition Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970–1990 (Tate Britain; The Whitworth). Her work has also been shown at prestigious international venues including Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, La Casa Encendida (Madrid), the Barbican, ICA and the Wellcome Collection (London). Baker studied painting at St. Martins and holds an Honorary Doctorate from Queen Mary University of London. Her work is known for its wit and radical engagement with care, mental health, and domestic life.
