‘The Meeting Place on the Plinth’, created by sculptor Richard Harris, is a distinctive curving structure which emanates from the south side of the building’s plinth. The 39 slate stones, which form the work, come from the same quarry, Cwt-y-Bugail, near Llan Ffestiniog, that supplied the slate used in and around the Senedd. Artist's comments: From my first thoughts for this commission it has been important to me that my work should form a relationship between people, the building and the wider context of the bay. The sculpture is constructed from the same slate used in and around the Senedd building; quarried from high up within a mountain near Ffestiniog. The stones are large and raw compared to those used in the building; sawn and gathered together, they create a delicate wing like structure that curves around the corner of the building.
