Fairy Tales and Factories involved the construction and installation of a 3.5 metre wide hooded cape, with a 21-metre long train made from hundreds of thousands of red rose petals.
During its assembly the artist recorded conversations between the Sedbergh Stitchers, the people involved in its construction. The oral histories and folk-tales were replayed during the final exhibition.
