The Man in The Crypt

Winchester Cathedral, Winchester, England

Most people are familiar with Anthony Gormley’s statutes on Crosby beach which are engulfed by the incoming tide bit may not be familiar with the same concept in Winchester Cathedral. Here one of Gormley’s figures stands in the crypt silently contemplating a cup of water in it’s hands. During wet weather the crypt floods and the stature stands knee deep in water much as those on Crosby beach. Unfortunately it is next to impossible to get a photograph at that point as the crypt is closed to visitors when flooded.
