Alex J Wood

"Alex Wood is investigating what constitutes the idea of precariousness within sculpture. Alex Wood is exploring the term 'vulnerability' and focusing upon sculptural works and forms that may appear to look top-heavy, or gravity defying. He alludes to ideas of a possible ‘unfinished aesthetic’, combining them with architecturally styled plinths. Perilously high unfired ceramics balance on teetering stakes, and react to the environment with readymade pieces."

The Towering Crane

The Towering Crane is a new bronze over a metre high which seemingly balances in a state of peril, it looks as if it could have been on the moon for thousands of years slowly melting into the ground. The blue, green and black patina emphasises and highlights various areas. Its scale is emphasised by the new purple patinated bronze bi-plane Jumbo.
