Derbyshire’s Creswell Crags are a system of caves, whose cave-art some believe was created over 40,000 years ago. ‘Drawing from her love of low-tech vintage Si-Fi sets, her brush with Ancient Astronaut Theory and the writings of Alan Watts, Smith presents the case for time-travel. She ramps up the pure kitsch of this retro SF via her aesthetics of fluorescent sheen, glitter and gloss and by getting deliberately cosmic she provokes us to consider our place in the universe and all that remains unknown and unfathomable in its immensely distant past and apparently unimaginable future. Smith’s work here is a sort of serious play’.

The exhibition explores the evolution of the language used around humans’ mental and emotional experiences. With attitudes shifting towards compassion in policy and treatment, terms such as wellbeing, recovery and mental health are being re-examined, and their connotations questioned. Words like neurodiversity have emerged to describe the world of mind and brain/thought and feeling in a less stigmatising way. Words and phrases from the now infamous ‘The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ (1952) were the starting point for this thought provoking exhibition.

Spending a day with steam engine boffins has never been so much fun. As we meander around the 100 miles of track within the expansive steelworks the bleak semi-deserted landscape and alien machinery is as magical as childhood memories of the legendary Casey Jones and the Cannonball Express. There is no limit to the connections our minds can make. Kirsty E Smith's work is disarming in it's playfulness and 'Casey and Kirsty' is no exception; the juxtaposition of sounds from classic Casey Jones TV episodes with the harsh industrial noises from Scunthorpe's steelworks make for surprising comedy moments. The landscape of the steelworks cover eight square miles, a huge territory to explore. Smith has made the crossing from what remains of 21st century British industry to the adventure and optimism of the early 20th century Wild West; she made this journey by steam train.
