ACCESS DENIED by Josie McCall



ACCESS DENIED

This installation was designed as a means by which able bodied visitors could experience some of the confusion and frustration that is a daily part of life to those with mobility impairments.

1 Gravel Path

This alternative 'entrance' across a deep gravel path took one ton of gravel and illustrates the difficulties posed by non-accessible buildings for those with mobility problems.


2 Lift

This 'Lift' is in fact, only the access doors from a working lift, installed to appear as a valid working part of the building, including an illuminated call button. It is in a single storey building, and therefore does not go anywhere. It is to illustrate the frustration for a mobility impaired person when a lift is not working which is required for their access to the other floors of a building.
