Cargoes 200 Brian Fell Mermaid Quay The artists brief was to design a unified work to play a central role in the Mermaid Quay development, forming a link between the lower and upper levels integrating the different parts of the development.  The work has created a narrative trail for visitors to follow enticing people to visit different areas of the development. The artist chosen for this commission was Brian Fell. Brian was the artist responsible for the beautiful Merchant Seafarers War Memorial near the Pierhead Buidling at Cardiff Bay, and All Hands, outside the WRU Headquaters on Customhouse Street.   He is metalworker and creates many of his pieces such as Cargoes, as well as furniture out of metal. Brian worked on emerging themes from a poem he wrote, linking it with cargoes which have been imported from around the world and exported from Cardiff via the busy docks. He designed various relief pieces such as a monkey, an elephant, firewood and coal placed around Mermaid Quay. There are 22 pieces in total including a cast plaque of the poem. The Cargoes pieces are made of steel, which has then been galvanised and varnished. The pieces are on plaques, which are fastened to the buildings by nuts and bolts. 22 individual sculptures were mounted on plaques & fastened to the buildings using nuts and bolts.
