About me

I was so excited about this project when I found out about it. To take part in a piece of artwork by Anthony Gormley is such a privilege. My wife and I are both huge fans of Anthony's previous works, especially so living so close to the Angel. We've both applied, but only I've got through for now (good luck for the following months Denise!!!)

I'm going to print goodwill messages on mini paper planes and throw them from the plinth to passers-by (some will have lucky-dip lottery tickets in them). Can't wait for my slot at 11Am on Saturday 18th July.

Hi Jim

Thanks for the plane. My answer - I would say you can be ‘best friends’ with about 20 people, yeah 20 seems about right.

Great T-shirt by the way – she said you were one for the detail, although I do think that fold 6 is a little excessive!!

I really like that you were able to connect with the people below and they had something from the plinth with a good will message. Great idea and the lottery ticket a plus.

Hey James - that was my idea too!!! (ok, apart from the lottery ticket bit)

Luckily haven't got a place on the plinth, nor did apply for one - haha!!

Enjoy yourself :-)

Well done!

You look to be a lovely chap.

Sorry Denise didn't get on (yet) my husband Tony wasn't chosen either.

I'm on at 4pm tomorrow.

I too am privileged to have been picked to stand on the plinth. August 20th 9am. Sending out goodwill messages to on-lookers is such a great gesture. Wouldnt it be fantastic if someone was to win the lottery which would transform their life because of you. WOW!!!

Beszt wishes
