Those are both so cool. I’ve never seen images of them before. The size of the man on the hill is impressive – it’s great you have the people in there for a contrast. Is the one in the sea human-sized or also huge?

The man in the sea at Margate is life size, the sculptor Antony Gormley models all his ‘men’ on himself, there is a series. This one is completely submerged at high tide.

It was amazing seeing the shots with him deeper and deeper in the sea.

Having seen the Another Place sculptures I’ll have to visit the Margate version. Gormley has a way of making you think

We’ve been trying to catch Margate Man at low tide since last year. Standing at the foot of the Angel is very moving – he is so still and silent, especially when it’s misty.
