Antony Gormley's work, both sculptural and interactive installations, challenge the viewer to embody their own role of being "on display" for others. His work reflects our own experience, subjecting us to our own gaze. The reciprocity of his work brings to mind many questions I face in my classroom interactions with students. In the special needs classroom, one is always evaluating and re-evaluating our own actions and directives, and Gormley's work makes this subconscious dance visible.
