The Uninvited Guest from the Unremembered Past

Artist Nicola Turner has disrupted Tyntefield house with The Uninvited Guest from the Unremembered Past. Throughout the house, Turner has created a series of evocative installations made from organic ‘dead’ matter, such as wool and horsehair. These materials hold traces of memory; the horsehair has been salvaged from old mattresses and furniture, therefore absorbed with a lived history from both its time as a domestic object and as part of a living animal. The installations explore ways of listening to past, present and future.
