I really enjoyed Quinn's statue of Alison Lapper's pregnant statue. Lapper is a friend of Marc's and was born with no arms and shortened legs. Her mother rejected her in childhood and she was brought up in foster homes.
"It is rare to see disability in everyday life- let alone proud, naked and pregnant. The sculpture makes the ultimate statement about disability- that it can be beautiful and a valid form of being as any other."
"...Alison's statue could represent a new model of female heroism," Marc Quinn.
