Notes

Henrietta Hunter comes from Harrogate in North Yorkshire. She works 30 hours a week as a doctor's receptionist. Originally studied art history but didn't pursue art as a career. She says she would have loved to be an opera singer or an actress but they were her dreams and the chance to get up and do something on the plinth for an hour is the closest she'll get. On the plinth she will be improvising her way through the hour, she will begin talking a little about her vertigo and she has a poem called 'five minutes of peace' that she will read at the end, which she is reading for all women. Things that are important to her are reading and online interaction. She is part of a twitter group and her twitter friends are coming to support her tonight.
