Site 1 – South Transept (suspension)

The South Transept is a magnificent vaulted space with chapels off the central area, a niche with fragments of original paint, and the stained glass of the west windows which include Old Testament/Hebrew Bible representations of Judaism. The baptismal font from the original Saxon church of Aldhelm (c. 705) predates the cathedral by more than 400 years.

There is a large space above suitable for overhead work which can be suspended from wires spanning the triforium level, as shown in blue below. (Note that two wires as shown will be supplied by WAC. In principle more ambitious installations using up to six wires can be considered but the cost/effort of installing those wires will be down to the artist.)

The South Transept is approximately a 10m x 10m square in plan view.  Using wires as shown, the top of the work can be as high as 9m above floor level.  The bottom-most part of the work must be no lower than 3m from floor level. All General Restrictions for Installations apply.
