This is a concept model of Mark Quinn’s marble statue of Alison Lapper which was on display in Trafalgar Square. The giant version, used for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympics, was made from double-layer Polyester and had high-capacity air pumps to inflate it. Marc Quinn chose to create the original marble sculpture of Alison Lapper to commemorate a new kind of hero and signify the future possibilities of humanity. Scanned by Kim-lin.
Created through the Digital Explorations Project, a dynamic project, funded by the Rothschild Foundation, National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT) with support from Heart of Bucks. Groups of participants from local disability organisations have been trained in the use of a 3D scanner and photogrammetry. They have shared the skills that they have learnt with students from a SEND school to create a 3D virtual exhibition of items from the NPHT collection.
