Video of "Cook Dems"
"She is commonly described as a performance artist or live artist, and is one of the most widely acclaimed and popular performance artists working today. It is true that she does perform and is alive but she also works in other media, including radio, TV, film, painting and drawing. Over the past 11 years she has periodically gone mad and is an active campaigner for more acceptance of and human rights for people categorised by society as 'disordered'."

“Performance artist and painter Bobby Baker has daringly confronted the fragilities and pleasure of human existence with challenging honesty. In a powerful feminist tradition of speaking herself - speaking her own truth - she has ranged from hilarity to the deepest pathos. Her vision, sometimes excruciating, has produced a singular and profoundly important body of art work about the struggle and the joys of living.” Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds
