For Gormley, the body is a \u2018vessel for feeling\u2019. He sees it as both the unique site of our individual journeys and the one thing we all share.<\/p>\n<p>The first gallery you enter is \u2018Slabworks 2019\u2019 with fourteen sculptures distributed across the floor.

Hundreds of thousands of spot welds have been done by hand to join all the sections together. It was designed especially for this gallery with 21 suspended room size cages surrounding a small concentrated chamber. Gormley calls this \u2018the space of dreaming\u2019 and is the equivalent to the average size of a European new-build bedroom. As you stand underneath it is difficult to decide what is close or far, in front or behind. I felt tiny standing underneath, as when you look up it seems to go on for infinity. Gormley described Matrix III as \u2018the ghost of the environment we\u2019ve all chosen to accept as our primary habitat\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Subject II 2019 is a single life-size body form, with head bent contemplating the ground on which it stands. Tightly packed vertical and horizontal steel bars map the internal space of the body \u2013 what Gormley refers to as \u2018the zone of life beneath the skin\u2019.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2698\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/westnorfolkartists.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RA-HOST.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2698\" class=\"wp-image-2698 size-medium\" title=\"Antony Gormley, Host, 2019\" src=\"https:\/\/westnorfolkartists.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RA-HOST-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Antony Gormley, Host, 2019.

This gallery is in direct opposition to the rigid, hand-manipulated grids of Matrix III. Host consists of basic organic elements (earth, water, air) \u2013 Buckinghamshire clay and Atlantic seawater. The work reacts to the atmosphere and changing light, gradually transforming over the days and months of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Gormley asks \u2013 is it an image of destruction \u2013 a devastating flood? Or of potential creation? Host embodies the raw conditions in which life might emerge, a kind of primordial soup of matter, space and time.<\/p>\n<p>There are a total of 13 galleries in this exhibition and just the way some of the exhibits have been mounted is unfathomable. In one gallery \u2013 Body and Fruit \u2013 two huge cast iron \u2018fruits\u2019 are suspended just inches from the floor by steel cables and when you look up<br \/>\nto the domed octagonal ceiling you realise that some of the glass of the dome has had to be removed to feed the cables through. I can only assume that there is a large gantry on the roof to connect them to.<\/p>\n<p>Another fabulous gallery \u2013 Lost Horizon I 2008 \u2013 features many casts of Gormley\u2019s body which defy gravity. Some are suspended upside down from the glass ceiling by the feet, others protrude horizontally from the wall again by the feet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2695\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/westnorfolkartists.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RA-Gormley-UNDER-MATRIX.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2695\" class=\"wp-image-2695 size-medium\" title=\"\u2018Antony Gormley\u2019, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 21st September to 3rd December 2019\" src=\"https:\/\/westnorfolkartists.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RA-Gormley-UNDER-MATRIX-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\u2018Antony Gormley\u2019, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 21st September to 3rd December 2019 \u00a9 the Artist.
