Dust Installation at Yorskhire Sculpture Park

‘DUST’ was a suspended installation created for the visitor centre window at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2014. Alongside the installation, visitors could watch a short film made by R&A Collaboration. The silent version accompanied the display, giving viewers insight into my making process. Below is the accompanying text…

‘Duty dictates that all fairies must retrieve and distribute fairy-dust. Much of fairy life revolves around this laborious and lengthy task. It is reported that 85% of fairies spend in excess of 12 hours per day identifying, collecting or sprinkling dust. 

The DFWB (The Department for Fairy Well-being) has recently invested a significant amount into life improvement strategies for over worked fairies. A series of labour saving devices have been developed in response to the ongoing battle against fairy fatigue.’
