Multi-media artist Seamus Killick explores Saddleworth’s dark history in The Cotton Doffer Reclamation of 2069 at Weavers Factory. Using a mixture of installation, sculpture, 3D modeling and painting, the exhibition revolves around an imaginary time 50-years in the future where people roam a bleak dystopian landscape.

The image depicts a man at the centre with grey hair and rosy cheeks, surrounding him are fairies that appear to be created in his own image with multiple limbs and unique bodily proportions. Around them are hundreds of vials, microscopes and dated scientific equipment.
