As an assistant to Henry Moore in the 1940s, Meadows turned to animal and biomorphic forms in his sculpture to avoid being compared to his teacher, and other reliefs evoke his popular subjects of birds and crabs. Meadows was included in the seminal British pavilion exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 1952, alongside Geoffrey Clarke, Lynn Chadwick and Kenneth Armitage.
