Landmark Portrait Commission by London Transport Museum
Four years in the making, Filling in the Gaps features ten new portraits commissioned by the London Transport Museum and funded by Arts Council England.
Art Space, Marylebone Parish Church, 17 Marylebone Rd. London

This art commission represents the first time the history of the disabled people’s movement has been presented on a national scale, told through portraiture and the personal perspective of the activists who drove change.
”Let's not forget that public transport being accessible isn't just about disability. It's also about a little child in a push chair or a pram, a mother or a father with children, a grandmother. It's about older people with their shopping trolleys and walking sticks.
I believe that campaigning to make transport accessible needs to be thought about widely.”
Filling in the Gaps invites visitors to reflect not only on transport access, but also on wider themes of dignity, care, and the right to move freely through society.
“I myself am dyslexic, so for me, addressing barriers and prejudices about mental health through my art and work, as well as dealing with challenging social issues are of utmost importance to advance awareness and to further progress.”
