Sarah Lucas' N U D S.

A couple of weeks ago, I visited Sadie Coles HQ on Dover Street to see Sarah Lucas' Nuds. Her work frequently employs visual puns and bawdy humour and this collection of sculpture and photographic images was just what I expected. I wasn't that interested in the photography, naked girls with 'penises', but I did want to see her skin-like sausage sculptures made of stockings stuffed with wadding. Up close, they are quite grotesque and seem to have a mutated human form of some kind, like undeveloped giant fetuses or genetically modified human-worm hybrids. Go and see it quick, 'cos the exhibition ends this weekend!
