Logo for The Essay - A Letter to My Body - Antony Gormley

Sculptor Antony Gormley discusses his relationship to his own body and why it has featured so prominently in his art. He remembers how the experience of being forced to take an afternoon nap during his childhood set him on the path to learning meditation and he explains why he is now making a conscious effort to 'simply be' in the space of the body without seeking to control it or to make constant use of it. Producer: Charlotte Simpson.
