altered is a major solo exhibition by British sculptor and disability rights activist, Tony Heaton OBE.

About

The exhibition explores Heaton’s sculptural practice from his early disability rights activism and his initiation of the National Disability Arts Collection and Archive (NDACA), to more recent work that includes direct stone carving and neon text pieces. With wit and self- awareness, Heaton uses a range of materials and techniques to produce intelligent and thought-provoking work that is a reflection of the artist’s own lived experience as a disabled person.

As the artist says, “I am almost always reminded that I am perceived as a disabled person, and much of my work explores my personal analysis of these everyday interactions.”
