Design Description
Apart Together celebrates London’s diversity using Morph’s playfulness. The colourful humanoid shapes represent our unique attributes while being able to adapt and make space for those around us. This is how I aspire for diversity to be celebrated - we can appreciate our individual cultures and traditions, but ultimately, let’s be open to make space, learn from others and stand stronger together.
Artist Information
An independent artist, born in the UK from Jamaican and English heritage, I use my creativity to explore and express my journey as I discover where I ‘fit’ in the white and black diaspora. I lean towards ‘humanoid’ figures by playing with shapes, toying with ideas of beauty and traditional representations of people in art. My work favours clay modelling, but even when painting, I love tactility; being able to feel how I’ve moulded and shaped my creations.
Sponsor Information
At EY, our purpose is building a better working world. The insights and services we provide help to create long-term value for clients, people and society, and to build trust in the capital markets.
“At EY we are proud we’re building on our long-standing relationship with Whizz-Kidz and sponsoring ‘Morph’s Epic Art Adventures’, which promotes accessibility and inclusion. We are looking forward to seeing the sculptures around London, which will create much-needed conversation, particularly around the restrictions young wheelchair users face every day.”
Buy a Morph at Auction
When the Trail ends, the super-sized Morph sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Whizz Kidz. Whizz Kidz supports young people by providing the wheelchairs, equipment, support and confidence-building experiences they need, and campaigning for a more inclusive society. We hope to raise enough funds in the auction to allow 100 more young wheelchair users across England, Scotland and Wales be mobile, enabled and included.
