Too cold to go in the sea for me, but Gormley's statues are made of stronger stuff...


I was visiting a few New House customers in Merseyside yesterday, and Manhattan Blinds was my big surprise. I also found time to visit Antony Gormley's Other Place.

 
His amazing figures line the beach on plinths, and appear or disappear according to the tide :
 
A few heads were just popping up as the tide went down, but it was a chilly old day and the statues didn't appear to be wearing all that much. You'd have thought they'd be queuing-up at the local cafe for some hot soup? Yet there they were, doing their bit for British Art and braving the weather, hat's off to them.

My photos were not my best, so I've found a few better ones :
