Opening in time for the Easter holidays, Time’s Scythe is a brand-new installation by British artist Nicola Turner that breathes new life into the 18th-century Chapel.
The installation will be created inside the chapel using recycled wool and horsehair, which is hand-stitched inside mesh to create the work’s bulbous tendrils. Beginning outdoors, the work will spill from the Chapel bell tower and enter through an upper window, before cascading over the balcony to fill the gallery space. The natural earthy smell of the wool will create a tactile, sensory experience as you walk amongst and around the flowing tentacles.
This is Turner’s first large-scale installation to use pale wool and creates a different energy to her dark sculptures, moving away from their more melancholic character.
Time’s Scythe is presented in collaboration with Annely Juda Fine Art and Southern & Partners.
