Aly Linaker is from Southport. She often visits Crosby Beach to see Gormley's work. She is a keen photographer. She is a holistic therapist. She has glow things to take on the plinth and her camera. She would like to do yoga but does not think she can remember enough. She is also a feltmaker so may do some of that on the plinth, perhaps make a keyring. She wrote a diary for many years of her life, now her photography makes a story. When she was 38 she stopped working in the jewelry shop she had had for 20 years. She doesn't like the floodlights on the plinth. She has brought poi. She has also brough badges to write on and give to people. She feels like an old person but young at heart.
