Field is special, not only because IT was Gormley’s first work, but because it was made with the help of many other people. The 35,000 figures which make up the work were all handmade in Mexico by members of the same family. The Texca family have been making bricks for generations. To help Gormley make the little figures, 60 members of this family worked day and night, the youngest was only 6 and the oldest was over 75. The response from the public to Gormley’s work is varied. Some of THEM love his work, others don’t. “I find it inspiring,” says Mandy Bellweather from Gateshead, about Field. “All those little creatures are so cute and they look like they are expecting something from you. It’s quite wonderful.” Block Head, from Newcastle, doesn’t like it. “I think it’s a bit silly. I mean, lots of little figures, and they don’t even look like real people or real animals. It’s boring.” 1. The word “it” refers to…………. A. work B. Field C. The Angel of the North D. sculpture 2. The word “them” refers to…………….
