Thanks for your great coverage of Public Art — part one. Certainly the show and the installation by Gormley at Castle Cornet have been attracting some attention. Comments are welcome and do visit ‘the greenhouse’ space to see the exhibition as well as the dvd about how the Gormley work, that inspired LOT in Guernsey, was realised in Australia.….
