Vivien Mallock

Sculptor. She was born into an army family, and worked as a disc-jockey and a waitress, before herself marrying a soldier. Her career in sculpture began in 1990, when she was called upon by the Museum of Army Flying at Middle Wallop (Hants) to supply dummies for a uniform display, as part of a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. To enliven the display, she made her dummies portraits of specific pilots. Since then she has executed a great deal of smaller sculpture – birds, animals and a series of dance pieces- many of which were exhibited at the Frank T. Sabin Gallery in London in the Winter of 2003. Her public commissions include a Jubilee Sculpture of a boy sitting in front of a ship’s prow, unveiled by the Queen Mother in Portsmouth in 2002, and a statue of Field Marshal Montgomery, of which casts exist at Colleville (Normandy) and in Portsmouth. Her bust of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the last work for which the Queen Mother sat, commissioned by the St Mary’s Hospital Trust to commemorate the subject’s 100th birthday, was unveiled in the hospital in 2002. Mallock became an associate of the Royal Socety of British Sculptors in 1998.
