Studio Brief 1 - 3 Final Ideas relating to Tony Cragg



This design was created in relation to 'Caught Dreaming' exploring the textures and line work within Cragg's sculptures. The chosen block colours of this design were taken from the block colours used within Cragg's sculptures.This design was created using a thick britled paint brush in order to get uneven, contour lines within the letter forms. Capital letters were used for this alphabet to reflect boldness and large sculptures.

The following design is a highly literal design, linking to human form within Cragg’s designs.Cragg’s work revolves around people and the material world. Within his work he often explores human form looking at why we look like we do. His process of thought when creating his sculptors always starts with drawings.Cragg Claims ‘I have no idea where a drawing might lead’ representing himself and his work as highly random and abstract. He then creates the sculptures inspired by his drawing by hand with each evolution thought inspiring the next. This reflects the sketchy silhouettes within this design.


This design was created using butter icing, attempting to create the textures of Cragg’ sculptures within an abstract way. This is based on Cragg’s love for textures and materials. He had a profound love for materials and the way in which they move.  Therefore, this image captures the movement of dripping icing, reflecting on the rigid, uneven  edges of Cragg’s work. This design work was also inspired by research into the sculpture ‘Caught Dreaming’.
