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 covers 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 by steam train.
