Abstract

‘Alight’ was commissioned by Stoford Ltd and Admiral PLC to be sited alongside the newly built Admiral Insurance offices in Cardiff city centre. The brief was simply to develop a permanent sculptural piece for the site. I was interested in the architecture of the site, both in terms of its history – or lack of it, as the entire area had been redeveloped – and also its position within the city – this area could be described as an entertainment district, housing a cinema, a live music arena, shops, restaurants and bars. Also, where the work was sited was, formerly, not an area of high footfall due to it being at the back of a shopping centre. Through this work I was proposing a conversation between it and the very large architecture that surrounded it, at the same time attempting to create a landmark and reference point in people’s navigation of the city.
