Catalogue Note
"I'm trying to make natural materials and man-made materials have equal value...It's difficult to maintain this absolute scale of nature, because we changed everything, we changed the plants, the animals, the water, the air. So, I think it's necessary to look at this border between natural and man-made. That is one of the main concerns in the work rather than the idea that one takes a particular material and makes art out of it. It is an essential difference which is quite important." Tony Cragg
