Large scale sculptures and fire installations
As a development from her high fired ceramic sculptures, Meri Wells creates large scale, environmental installations, usually incorporating fire in some way.
The exciting fire sculpture "White Horse" was cut into a Mid Wales hillside and measured 30 metres square. Each night for a week the spectacle was repeated as the horse's outline was set ablaze.
As part of her theatre design work Meri was deisgning the set and costumes for the Welsh National Opera's production of "Mis Bach Du". IN conjunction with this project Meri cut a pattern of spirals and lines, inspired by local carved celtic stones, into a beach in West Wales.
This fire installation measured over 200 metres and covered virtually all the area in the small bay and the completed work was clearly visible from the surrounding cliff tops until the next tide restored the natural order of the foreshore.
