‘I want the material to be dynamic, to push, to move and unfold itself’. (Tony Cragg)
Elliptical Column is a sculpture inspired by biomorphism, which is characteristic of the latest series in the artist’s oeuvre – Early Forms and Rational Beings, to which Elliptical Column belongs. The power of the elliptical column lies in its ability to interact with the surrounding environment, both urban and natural one.
