Warminster artist Bruce Munro, who is known for his innovative light installations, is enjoying seeing the reactions to his latest creation, on show now at Salisbury Cathedral.

Mr Munro, who lives in Kilmington with wife, Serena, and their four children, has been an artist and sculptor in his own right for 16 years, having previously worked with Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud.

Mr Munro’s work often features everyday objects reflecting light in unusual surroundings. Last June he placed 600,000 discarded CDs in Long Knoll Field near his home to create a piece entitled CD Sea.

The new installation, Water Towers, is on display at Salisbury Cathedral cloisters, using 15,000 stacked recyclable water bottles illuminated with fibre optics.

Mr Munro said: “The reason I decided to use water bottles goes back to a book I read when I was about 21 called Gifts of Unnamed Things, which I loved. It was about synaesthesia, which is mixing the senses so when you hear things you see it’s equivalent in visual form.

“I wanted to use materials that were readily available and something that could be recycled.

“I love using everyday objects that are intrinsically beautiful. If you put a water bottle on an empty table and let the sunlight shine through it it’s beautiful.

“Hopefully people will enjoy the inventiveness of using everyday materials in an interesting way. If somebody goes away feeling positive then it’s job done.”

Mr Munro also said he felt privileged to have his work displayed at the famous cathedral.

“In a sense I feel I am paying homage to all those wonderful artisans who worked to build the cathedral,” he said. “It’s a great privilege to create something for this great space.”

Water Towers is best visited during late evening viewings until 8pm on Sundays, and on February 5, 10, 14, 18, 25 and 26.
