这本书的主题结构分为四章:**章探讨了葛姆雷对身体、时间和空间的思考，这些思考与他的主要作品有关，包括《欧洲战场》(1993)和《依然屹立》(2011)。第二章，“雕刻家”，在每一本书中，葛姆利都讨论了一件他认为具有巨大创作价值的雕塑:爱泼斯坦的《钻岩》(1938 - 15)、布兰库西的《无尽的柱》(1935-38)、贾科梅蒂的《拉普雷斯》(1948-49)、约瑟夫·博伊斯的《困境》(1985)和理查德·塞拉的《时间问题》(2005)。在第三章中，葛姆雷概述了佛教和耆那教雕塑对他的作品和思想的影响，第四章展示了他最近的雕塑作品。

The book is structured thematically over four chapters: the first explores Gormley’s thoughts on the body, time and space in relation to major works including European Field (1993) and ‘Still Standing’ (2011), Gormley’s rehang of the classical rooms at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. The second chapter, ‘Sculptors’, was first delivered as a series of five lectures for the BBC; in each, Gormley discusses a sculpture he considers to be of huge creative importance: Epstein’s The Rock Drill (1913–15), Brancusi’s The Endless Column (1935–38), Giacometti’s La Place (1948–49), Joseph Beuys’s Plight (1985) and Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time (2005). In the third chapter, Gormley outlines the influence of Buddhist and Jain sculpture on his work and ideas, and the fourth showcases the artist’s most recent sculptures.
