Passage 40　　 Earthworks

According to an old Chinese saying, the earth of different regions raises different types of people. Most Chinese are sentimentally attached to the earth of their hometowns.

Now a UK artist has provoked Chinese people into rethinking their relationship with the earth of their native regions with an artwork named “Asian Field”.

Antony Gormley is the artist who generated this idea, guiding over 300 people of all ages from Huadu District in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, to co-operate in a unique installation this January.

The installation consists of 192，000 hand-sized clay figures. According to Gormley, it has taken over 100 tons of mud to create all the figures. The artist claimed making Asian Field in China turned out to be a very wonderful experience for him.

Since 1990, Gormley has held such “Field” exhibitions in five different regions of the world, and this one is the largest so far---five times larger than any of the Field exhibited in other areas.

It is also one of its largest touring art exhibitions in China this year, the British Council has revealed. The installation has been on display in Guangzhou and Beijing already, with more than 10,000 viewers attending.

Gormley also found people in China had got into the spirit of making these sculptures more quickly than anywhere else in the world. He was also impressed by the level of co-operation and mutual support which occurred naturally during the process of creating the installation among the 300 people.

Although each clay figure seems simple and crude, Gormley believe each is unique.When the figures are put side by side to form a spectacular scene, it reminds the artist of “a kind of collaboration with the spirits of the unborn and of the ancestors”.

For Gormley, his series of Field works reveals the differences between the individuals who make the work and also the differences existing between one geographical area and another. He want to pass such feelings on to the viewers.
