About this title

Synopsis

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Landmark Trust commissioned an installation from Antony Gormley. LAND was the result: this book records its places and explores their meanings. Author Jeanette Winterson and photographer Clare Richardson travelled to five Landmark sites in remote parts of the British Isles: Saddell Bay, Mull of Kintyre; South West Point, Lundy; Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge Bay; Martello Tower, Aldeburgh and Lengthsmans Cottage, Lowsonford to see Gormleys life-size cast iron sculptures. Winterson has written a meditation in response to the works and landscapes she has encountered. This celebratory text is accompanied by Richardsons photographs of the varied seascapes and waterways and weather conditions that the sculptures inhabit.
