Tony Cragg has set his relations between the natural and the artificial. In his work, there is a momentum swinging towards the invisible and the visible. Spirituality fails to be overlapped by the medium of idealistic support. The materials this creator uses could be a path against himself from the outset. Each one of them recycles, transforms, collides and produces changes to adapt to later on, just like the planet's tectonic forces - in orders that coexist with its instability.
The artist proclaims the function of the imagination beyond the mutilation of words, wishing to find a vocabulary for the emotions and effects that breaks ties with positivism and favours our way of grasping the universe.
