LAND: see sky

Description

I’d been meaning to photograph the Anthony Gormley LAND sculpture at Kimmeridge ever since it was installed in May, but this night in September 2015 presented a perfect opportunity. A little haze to the right of the image glowed with light pollution from Portland and Weymouth.

The sculpture was installed at the foot of the hill upon which sits Clavell Tower, remarkable because it was moved, stone by stone, 85ft away from the eroding cliff edge. A total of 16,272 were salvaged, and the tower is now used as a holiday home by the Landmark Trust, who commissioned Gormley to produce a series of installations here, at Lundy Island, Martello tower in Suffolk, Saddell Bay, the Mull of Kintyre and the Lengthsman’s Cottage in Warwickshire.

A4 and limited edition mounted prints are printed on high quality Fuji glossy photo paper. Larger prints are available, printed on durable, scratch-proof and weather-proof vinyl, mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite board, creating a light, strong and unfussy product.
