Antony Gormley’s solitary figure has become a central presence at the University of Limerick, writes Catherine Lawless
The cast iron sculpture stands with its head slightly bowed, its arms pressed closely to the body, in a wide open space. The artist, Antony Gormley, says, “My work is to make bodies into vessels that both contain and occupy space.”
Situated on the campus of the University of Limerick between the library, the main humanities building and the University Concert Hall, the sculpture has become an integral part of student life, forming part of their daily landscape.
