This 2.87m statue of a 1st world war soldier sits near the war memorial on the seafront. Originally on loan, the residents of Seaham clubbed together to buy the piece so it is now a permanent fixture.

"Wie die Skulpturen im Raum angeordnet sind, ist vielleicht wichtiger als das, was sie repräsentieren."
Antony Gormley
bewundert in der "Chapel of Holy Saviour" - Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia, Prag
Antony Gormley erkundet mit Leidenschaft, ob eine menschliche Form - sowohl als Gefäß für den Körper als auch als Behältnis für den Geist - ein zeitgenössisches Subjekt für Kontemplation sein kann - gerade in spirituellen Räumen.
Der Künstler spricht von "Sein" im weitesten Kontext und erkundet das Jetzt, arbeitet mit dem Leben, macht Körperformen und Körperabdrücke, implizit lebensgroß, in verschiedenen subtilen Zuständen und platziert diese gern in einer Reihe von diversen Einstellungen. Die von ihm ausgewählten Plätze oder Orte sind niemals zufällig - Gormley wählt sie gezielt aus. Er behandelt den Körper wie ein Haus und lädt den Betrachter zur Teilnahme ein.
Die auf diesem Bild wie wahllos verstreut liegenden Stein-ähnlichen Formen ergeben in der Draufsicht ebenfalls eine humane Form...

Another one from a wander early on a perfect spring morning.
Hope your week has started well. We fly home this afternoon.
In the transition between dawn and daylight, amazing methane formations tier like sculptures in the ice layers worn smooth and clear by the incessant gales whipping across the dark glaze covering the glacier-born waters of Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada.
By way of extreme understatement, suffice it to say a lot has changed in the world since I last posted some months ago. The present challenges and loss affecting much of the world surely reveal the relative triviality of things like photography, but even so I've found taking a moment on my computer and reconnecting with photography to be quite comforting. I've always found the beauty of nature quite a salve to the stresses of the world, and this feeling apparently holds even when nature has interposed a good bit of the stress.
This image comes from an impromptu outing Sky and I quickly put together back in January after we saw a weather forecast predicting that temperatures at Abraham Lake--which had been hovering around 40 below zero (the cold, cold point on the thermometer where Celsius and Fahrenheit align)--would rise just a few days later to a much more palatable range but without getting warm enough to soften the surface layer of ice and thus destroy the transparency so crucial to revealing the beautiful methane forms within the ice.
We were intent on going when it was a bit warmer because everything we'd read over the years described the lake's surface as being scoured by winds of such persistent ferocity and frigidity as to be almost beyond belief to someone from warmer and calmer latitudes. And the wind speeds were as advertised! Stories you may have heard--like your tripod skidding away from you as if under sail the moment you release it from your grasp?--well, they're true!
But, as always, the sometimes challenging conditions only heightened the experience, even if it was quite a trick to get a steady shot during the windiest stretches. Though we had only a short visit, I found Abraham Lake to be one of the most beautiful and varied photographic locations I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and the subtle hues around sunrise on this morning only increased my feeling.
Thanks for viewing!

Last year we visited the National Gallery in Washington DC. A real highlight was this sculpture by Alexander Calder. I had been thinking of wire in conversation with shaped pieces and realized my ideas were so lame that it was time to give it a rest. As this detail of his sculpture shows, Calder said it for all of us.

Sculpture erected for the Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 exhibit featuring designer Virgil Abloh. The exhibit is at the Green Point Terminal Warehouse and this sculpture is in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Several years ago I took a sculpture course. This was my first project.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
