Wuthering Heights artist showcases woollen works

A woollen sculpture created by an artist whose installations feature in the latest Wuthering Heights film is to go on display at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Time's Scythe, a "site-responsive installation" by artist Nicola Turner, uses wool from the British Wool Board in Bradford and will be on display from Saturday.

Turner is putting the finishing touches to the work, which will see an 18th-Century chapel at the Wakefield park covered in wool and horsehair.

She said she was inspired by the landscape and "energy" of the chapel and its rural surroundings.

"My material, which includes locally sourced wool, will pull, weave and grasp through the space with the final form emerging as I work in situ with the YSP team," she said.

It is Turner's first large-scale installation and the title is taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet 12, which reads: "And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence."

Turner's works appear in the Emerald Fennell version of Wuthering Heights, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and was released in February.

Her large woollen sculptures hang from the walls and roofs of Wuthering Heights, the moorland house in which Cathy and Heathcliffe are raised.

She has also displayed work at the Royal Academy in London, Skaftfell Arts Centre in Iceland and at the Venice Biennale.
