The Trojan Horse

The work, Trojan Horse, aims to challenge perception of disability, focusing on issues of accessibility and inclusivity. There is a door on the side of the horse, behind which hides a machine gun wielding wheelchair user - A Paralympic “superhuman”. When this door is closed, only the Paralympic runner’s blade hints that he is there . In this work, metal has been used to create movement and life, with light and reflection being integral. LED lights have been used to light up the resin eyes, giving the sculpture an additional sense of animation.
