Life Supports
Guy Robinson
Guy Robinson's crutches are made from silver and grey carbon. Unlike conventional crutches, they curve backwards rather than being straight. They have silver lower-arm supports which are made of fabric mesh, and grey hand supports where the user puts their whole hand through the support and then grips a surface which has been shaped to fit fingers. The feet are sprung, and resemble the hooves of animals such as gazelles. Within the exhibition the crutches are pictured, as only one prototype exists.
