This is a sculpture by Antony Gormley, most people recognize his name because of his ‘angel of the north’ sculpture, but this is one of my favorite pieces of art because he made it by taking a cast of his own body. I like how this sculpture explores the body itself not a representation of the body. The blocks are all at different angles which gives it texture and shows how a human body isn’t smooth and perfectly aligned, it has smooth parts and rough bony parts.
