Colchester Essex UK 15th November 2019. The renowned Field for the British Isles, by Antony Gormley arrives at Firstsite Colchester in Essex. Field for The British Isles, which consists of 40, 000 tiny individual terracotta figures, is the largest single artwork in the Arts Council Collection and its arrival in Colchester will herald the latest stage in the journey of this spectacular piece. Gormley, who won the Turner Prize in 1994 after this work was created, currently has a major solo exhibition at The Royal Academy. But it is at ColchesterÕs Firstsite that arguably his most famous, iconic and beloved sculpture will reside, for the next four months. Field for The British Isles was made by Gormley in 1993 from a mountain of brick clay with over 100 volunteers who were invited to find their own form for each figure following three simple instructions: Òhand-sized, stand up and have eyesÓ. After being acquired by the Arts Council Collection in 1995, Field for the British Isles has been exhibited at a variety of venues across the UK, including Salisbury Cathedral, Greenesfield BR Works in Gateshead, The British Museum and Tate Liverpool. At each location, the configuration of Field is changed to suit the space, but the thousands of small figures are always installed to resemble a dense carpet, with each figure looking directly at the viewer. In Firstsite the figures will swarm through the rear half of the building, including throughout the main gallery spaces - a seemingly endless mass confronting the viewer. Gormley himself said of the artwork: ÒThirty tonnes of clay energised by fire, sensitised by touch and made conscious by being given eyes ... a field of gazes which looks at the observer making him or her its subject.Ó Firstsite Director Sally Shaw says, ÒField for the British Isles comprises 40, 000 figures and there are 40, 000 children and young people living in Colchester. This work is an ideal way to represent the scale of the local population and
