Another Place.........


This afternoon I visited Antony Gormley's 'Another Place'
....................................................................................
Some info:
These spectacular sculptures by Angel of the North artist Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea.

The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.

It was quite fascinating there! The figures are set in at different levels and can be seen far into the distance. It was lovely weather too! I have a rather embarrasing photo of my friend Elizabeth attempting to pull out one of the figures but i'd best not share it, she's pulling a very funny face!! LOL!!
