Another interesting work by Tony Cragg. Bend of Mind cought my attention by its bizare shape and form. It wasn't untill later on that I have noticed the facial profiles emerging and disappearing as one walks around them. I admire the way that artists utilizes all sorts of different materials like from wood to different metals. This sculpture is made out of bronze and is build on circular and elliptical shapes. When considering Craggs scientific background, in my opinion this piece represent some sort of evolutional process of human being. When the faces are emerging and disappearing as one walks around it gives an impression of some sort of symbiosis or metamorphosis. It's almost like a spinning DNA however insted of DNA spinning its self we have to do the spinning by walking around it. This works seems to be extremely complex and with endless possibilities and meanings. Brilliant masterpiece!
