THE STORY STONE
Cardiff Harbour, on the barrage
A Celebration of the Harbour Authority's first 25 years.
This project brings together the ancient world of standing stones with a modern twist. Within this huge piece of Welsh slate we have some of the stories of this wonderful regeneration of Cardiff Bay.
This commission was designed in a collaboration with the team at the Cardiff Harbour Authority as a way to capture some of the elements which are celebrated here on a daily basis. The huge freshwater lake where sailing in safety is a big asset for the sailing school. The walkway for families, cyclists and joggers alike provides one of the most scenic routes in the city, all in the safe environment of the harbour. The wetlands pontoon and reed-beds provide a close up connection with wildlife and each of these aspects are detailed within the stained glass windows of the sculpted standing stone.
The images above and below show something of the process of design and creating this large piece which stands 2.4m tall and gives a space to stand and explore all the small details within the glass-works. More information coming soon.
