身体的残障不会阻碍生存的意念
一个人心灵的残缺比死亡更可悲
在形体消失之前 完成那个最大的心愿
在力量消失之前 努力搜索一切的资源
没有目标的生活 呼吸不就失去了意义
缺乏生活的历练 会有值得回首的记忆吗?
在闭上双眼之前 为立定的目标去努力
在还有决心之际 关闭所有的负面想法
留一点时间空间 去善待这一世的自己
寻找幸福是一件很不容易的事情
让自己的心从简朴的滋味中复活

do u remember when we was taking pictures in trafalgar square,
we were wondering why they placed a white statue of a disabled
people next to Lord Nelson,King GeorgeIV. I can tell u now...
A cleaner told a woman who was lying in hospital bed,”can u
hear all that screaming down the corridor? That’s a baby just
been born in a terrible state.she’s got no arm and legs and
there’s a big red mark all across her face.It’s a horrible
looking thing.”The next day, a nurse told the woman that she’d
had a babby that was seriously deformed.The actual condition
was phocomelia,a congenital malfformation(birth defect)in which
the hands and feet are attached to abbreviated arms and legs.
the baby is Alison Lapper borned in 8 April 1965, an artist who
has awarded the MBE metal for the services to the arts in 2003.
In Jan 1999 she received a first call from Marc Quinn,a foremost
british artist of modern times.He invited her to be his model.
”He said that old sculptures where the limbs have already fallen
off through the wear and tear of time,have come to receive an
unconditional acceptance of their beauty. With these pieces of work
providing a certain context from art history,he want to make equally
beautiful sculptures of people who had been born naturally without
limbs ,and explore the relationship between the notion that we are
called disabled, imperfect bodies, and yet these ancient statues are
considered to be the height of bearty. Nobody had sought to recreate
new arms for the Venes de Milo and cement them on and it was
considered perfect. when dissablility is documented in art or
science it’s always presented as a kind of show of extreme
imperfection,somehow always shown as grotesque or ugly.he wanted to
do something different-to create something that was beautiful,the
disabled form is beautiful.”
the second times Marc phoned her,she was nearly 7months pregnant.
and he was still keen to do it.
In 2005 a compotision of sculpture,Marc Quinn’s Alison Lapper
Pregnant had been chosen to make a larger vision and displayed
in trafalgar square’s fourth plinth.
My life in my hand, Alison Lapper,2005.
