everyday objects excitedly transform in context
TONY CRAGG
Blood Sugar
Artist Cragg's early working years as a lab technician had some influence on his career when he became interested in art and glass. The title of this work was inspired by the shape of glucose molecules. The sculpture, containing five separate elements, can be arranged in different ways. Thus everyday objects such as cups, bowls, plates and pitchers can be transformed.
Thirty objects of irregularly cut and etched glass are glued onto both sides of sheet glass!
“All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
renenwed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.”
~J.R.R. Tolkien~
