Model Minotaur puts shoppers on their mettle
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Conjuring up a myth from scraps of metal is the height of fashion at Camden Lock, writes Lynn Eaton. Jason Truman's 'Warrior' started life as odd bits of checker plate - normally used for manhole covers - and scaffolding before being transformed into a7-ft high monster based on the Minotaur, a mythological bull-headed man which gorged on human flesh.
The artist, who studied industrial design at Barnet college and went on to be a fine art graduate from Manchester Polytechnic, built 'The Warrior' from bits of metal picked up in scrap yards.
Outdoor sculptures by Adam Kops and Tom Grimsey are also being shown on weekdays when the market is closed. They were chosen to breathe new life into the familiar space and surprise visitors. The exhibition organisers hope they will encourage local businesses to offer artists site commissions for similar events. They also have an indoor exhibition room available, which they will consider lending out free in some circumstances.
