Mr Gormley's Art Project
My good friend Sue Lawty’s daughter, Katie, was up on the plinth this week. On a rainy Monday morning between 6 o’clock and 7 o’clock.

At 16 Katie was the youngest person so far to inhabit the granite edifice, you can watch her shenanigans here [though you have to wait for the other person to get off first]
Sue was there and I imagine the dialogue went something like this:
“Katie! Get down from there NOW!”
“Mum!”
“What have I told you about climbing on things?”
“But Mum, I’m doing an arts project”
“I don’t care what you’re doing – get off there this minute.”
“It’s for Mr Gormley”
“I bring you all the way down to London, to Trafalgar Square, to see the pigeons and the nice statues and you go and start climbing on things. Of course I blame your father…”
