Watch artist Nicola Turner talk about how she created her sculpture 'The Meddling Fiend' for the Summer Exhibition 2024.
“Dead matter still has a lot of agency, a lot of presence.”
Take a look around Nicola Turner’s studio in Bath and watch her build her dramatic sculpture created from tentacles of horsehair and sheep fleeces. See 'The Meddling Fiend' in our courtyard as part of Summer Exhibition 2024 which runs until 18 August.
