Slump Model
A contemplative lead or cast iron figure lies collapsed or folded in on itself, embodying a state of physical and psychological surrender. Gormley's characteristic use of the human body as subject and material creates a powerful tension between weight and vulnerability, the form appearing to yield completely to gravity. The work continues the artist's ongoing investigation into the relationship between the body, space, and the interior landscape of human experience.
