ANTONY GORMLEY SENSE POSTCARD

SENSE (1991) reverses body/space relations and presents the human body as a void within a concrete cube: the smallest space that a crouching human body can occupy. We only see two palm prints and the top of the head where they break through the surface, suggesting a continuum between human consciousness and the world that surrounds us. SENSE demonstrates Gormley’s exploration of the body as place, using the most commonly used material in our built environment.
