Public Art

I see that Marc Quinn’s new work of sculpture: Alison Lapper Pregnant has been unveiled in Trafalgar Square. The work, like its subject, is pretty uncompromising and forthright. I like it. While some may have felt uncomfortable about such a public depiction of disability, I would merely draw their attention to the one-armed, one-eyed figure who is also present in Trafalgar Square, standing on top of Nelson’s Column.
