Antony Gormley, Fields (sculpture/installation)

35000 clay figurines, 1991
Nowadays installations filling up a whole room or a gallery is no longer a novel concept. The first for me was Antony Gormley's fields at Tate Liverpool in 2004. I recalled being quite captivated by the sight of tens of thousands of figurines, each unique, unexpectingly greeting me as i was about to walked into the room . This time there is no room of course. Instead you are about to be swarmed by the masses.
