'Another Place' has finally put down roots...


Anthony Gormley's iron men installation has found a permanent home on Crosby Beach, Liverpool
Intrigued by the work of Gormley, I went to visit Crosby beach and its new permanent residents [100 of them along a 2mile stretch] few weeks ago with a good friend of mine, for a bit of sunshine and a bit of photography.

Walking on the beach amidst this iron men crowd, it feels they are another part of us, the permanent element of our existence which keeps looking on for questions and answers. You feel compelled to stand side to them and look forward, trying to understand, to visualise what it is they are waiting for, or what it is that they are trying to make us see.
