Four new pieces - Esprit 2013, Mysteries, The Space Within and Flight - have also been specially created for the display.

Despite having created more than 80 site-specific works around the world, Ms Blumenfeld said she felt "uniquely inspired" by the cathedral.

Ms Blumenfeld said: "Being very aware of the importance of scale...I began to enlarge my most spiritual and iconic models with a mind to sharing their message with the many visitors who come to Salisbury Cathedral."
