Antony Gormley - "Still Falling" - 1983
"The quarry is itself a powerful tribute to the small bands of men that worked it, using blocks and wedges as well as the natural fissuring to cut the stone. Their technique
(using neither complex machinery nor explosives) was a mixture of science, intuition and hard teamwork that is a model for us all.
Working with stone is a fine job. Working on stone in the quarry is a challenge. You have to consider the material as part of the place; as part of the earth. the joy of this project
at Tout is that this very special place provides the inspiration, the material, the studio and the exhibition space."
(Antony Gormley)
