Winner of the 1994 Turner prize, Gormley is probably best known for his gigantic winged sculpture, The Angel of the North, but you may recognise Field for the British Isles - a huge, mesmerising installation consisting of a vast sea of terracotta figures.

The work comprises 40000 clay figures which are all positioned to face the same way like a huge crowd waiting in expectation, stretching out like a vast field.

I caught the work when it was being exhibited in St. Mary's Church in Shrewsbury, where I grew up.
