Chadwick studied at Brighton Polytechnic and then at the Chelsea School Of Art . She has often been identified as a Feminist , with several of her works addressing the role and image of Woman in Society . Her work often used organic materials, such as Meat , Flower s and Chocolate . She is perhaps most famous for ''Piss Flowers'' (1991-92), Bronze Sculpture s cast from patterns made in the Snow by her Urinating there. Earlier works include ''Viral Landscapes'', a series of Photograph s from the late 1980s where blotches (actually magnified images of Cell s from her body) are superimposed over Landscape s, and ''Meat Abstracts'' (1989) large photographs of meat juxtaposed with Leather and Fabric . Among her last works are a series of photographs of dead human Embryo s. Ten of her works, including ''Cyclops Cameo'' and ''Opal'', were destroyed in the May 2004 fire at the Momart Warehouse in London . Chadwick was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987.
