Design Description
I love to use music with a positive message in my work, so the lyrics displayed on Morph create an encouraging emphasis to raise awareness of accessibility in London. It’s a brightly coloured, fun piece that focuses on large, swirling, hand-drawn text, to give a sense of freedom, and illustrations of real wheelchair users using the curves as their paths.

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.
