Thomas Crane

Country of residence United Kingdom

Thomas Crane: In Cock and Fall. minimal modernist cubes appear to have slammed into a bark-less, charred tree trunk, spewing forth a dense wired form suggestive of a cloud, explosion, or birds plumage. Glossy red bird’s feet protrude from the bottom, facing in, exacerbating the dynamic potential of an event. Dangling from this offensive, wired form, a surreal motorized mechanism sways impotently. Suddenly our movement - chip, chip, chipping away at the base of the trunk, sets it off. Slivers of bark build at its base. Is this a cheeky nod to bygone sculptural practises? Crane weaves his poetic polemics using many and varied materials and visual signifiers, inculcating the viewer into the subsequent destruction, construction or impotence of the work.
