I will be constructing a sculpture as an acknowledgment of Antony Gormley's role in conceiving the project. Its form is loosely based on Antony's 'Event Horizon', which saw casts of the artist situated around London in Summer 2007.
Rather than cast iron my sculpture is made from bread. I chose bread because I like baking, it is light, cheap, and it has a limited lifespan - like my hour on the plinth. As an Archers listener, I am also pleased to be able to action Jill Archer's plan to 'bake bread' on the plinth.
In opposition to the other statues in Trafalgar Square mine will face the National Gallery. So Antony looks away from Westminster and towards the art world.
The most important part of the work will take place afterwards, when I will carry the sculpture to St James park where it will be eaten with some tasty fillings - and become Antony Gourmet!
