00:00Story Shell goes right back to childhood when you're walking along that beach and you find
00:09that shell and you pick it up and you put it to your ear and it's really exciting because
00:13you can hear the sound and then you look at it and you think where has this shell been?
00:17Where has it travelled?
00:18What adventures has it had?
00:20That's what we wanted to recreate was that sense of wonder and excitement and adventure
00:24and also flipping that around if you could step inside a story shell, where would it
00:29take you?
00:30That's what we were playing with.
00:31The scale is great and it's nice having something of scale and it looks really really big indoors
00:38and that's brilliant but outdoors it's that scale of a house.
00:43It's all about stories, my practice is very much about stories and capturing that from
00:48other people but it gave us a chance to collaborate and do something together because it was so
00:53exciting for both of us so it was a combined thing really.
00:57And I think that Barnsley Libraries has been really quite brave to commission something
01:01like this to be able to take something like this out there.
01:04You don't know what kind of response that Barnsley Libraries are going to get but I
01:08think it's going to be really exciting and interesting.
01:10I think it's also to recruit artists to do something and to have that different perspective
01:16from an artist's point of view I think is really interesting and exciting, would you
01:22agree?
01:23I love the ambition of the brief in the first place and the idea of taking something like
01:28this and the ambition of thinking differently and challenging people and I think that's
01:34a brave thing to do, it's great.
