Being an admirer of Antony Gormley’s sculptures I was intrigued by his Fourth Plinth project and on visiting his website decided to participate. When his computer picked out my name for an appearance on July 11th I then worried that I might be supporting a piece of Conceptual – rather than Real – Art.

I have decided to square this particular hour-long circle by:

 sitting comfortably,

 completing The Times crossword,

 sipping some Sekt,

 sporting the tie of The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers,

 wearing the companion watch to mine on view in the Clockmakers Museum at Guildhall,

 taking snapshots of the Square

 admiring the view

 doing nothing even vaguely arty,

However on the back of my chair will be the words, “I am not Art” followed by "A Plinth Amongst Men" and "I am not Here".
