Artist Nicola Turner has unveiled a site-specific installation titled "Time’s Scythe" within an 18th-century chapel at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The work features massive, creature-like forms made from hand-stitched recycled wool and horsehair that appear to crawl and surge through the building's architectural openings, spilling from balconies and wrapping around the exterior.
This exhibition marks a significant shift in Turner’s practice, utilizing pale wool for the first time to create a lighter energy compared to her typically dark, melancholic sculptures. By integrating organic, tactile materials into a historic religious space, the installation challenges viewers' perceptions of architecture and the boundary between the living and the inanimate.
