Spin me a Yarn

What would the world look like if giants walked among us? Would we have colossal houses and tiny buildings standing side by side? And would we have massive pets, that made our life massively unsafe? Giant cats playing with huge balls of wool?

Spin me a Yarn, the illuminated and unusually large-scale artwork by Studio Vertigo triggers these thoughts and forces us to view the world in a completely different way, playfully changing the meaning of our relationship to ordinary objects and our environment. Since the wire can be installed in different ways, this installation always enters into a direct relationship with its surroundings and is able to make unexpected connections in the landscape.

About the artist

Lucy McDonnell (1974) who studied Film and Television Science at the University of Sunderland and Stephen Newby (1969), graduated as a 3D designer at the University of Central Lancashire, have been making sculptures for public space for more than two decades. With their company Full Blown, they experimented with inflated metal, while their focus has now shifted to the medium of light. Under the name Studio Vertigo, Newby and McDonnell design objects that turn your world upside down and transform the (everyday) environment.
