I found this installation in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park after it was suggested in a meeting i had with the rest of the group.
It came from the discussion about how in the Industrial Revolution factory workers may have daydreamed out of the door or window of the factory, to escape the 'horrible place' that they were working in. They would have seen the sky, which is something that we want to project onto a piece of paper on the floor. This would show the feelings of the factory workers of the time. We hope to combine this with bricks that we all have found at mill sites to represent a fragment of the history of the mills that are present today in Leeds.
James Turrel - Deer Shelter 2006 - What was said at the installation -
'the sky is no longer out there, but is right on the edge of the space you are in'
