189 Miles: Wool Installation by Angela Wright
Artist Angela Wright will make a site-specific installation for the Cathedral's Peace Chapel. The installation, a massive 75kilo hank of wool, will be a response to the architecture, history and in particular the meaning of the Chapel. The wool was first used for an installation in a City of London church where it hung down in two columns which parted like a doorway and cascaded over the floor in two large pools like foam on the sea; it had a stillness and calmness and it is these qualities that the artist would like to bring to her new work in the Peace Chapel. The wool was generously donated by Bradford Wool Merchants, Martin Curtis of Curtis Wool Direct, Bingley and Andrew Marshall of S Lyles Sons and Co Ltd, Dewsbury; the Cathedral was therefore a very natural choice of venue.
This exhibition runs until Saturday 26th June
