British sculptor Antony Gormley (Angel of the North) has created one of his most striking works in the goldfields of Western Australia. On the salt plains of Lake Ballard, 51 silhouette sculptures -- life-sized steel casts of people from the nearby town of Menzies -- appear ghostlike on the horizon, shimmering in the heat. "I'll never forget the approach to the lake," said Gormley of his first visit. "The feeling of being at the edge of endlessness -- being on the lip of the edge of the world."
