The process of making is fundamentally important to Will Cruickshank’s sculptural works. He devises his own complex, makeshift machines by repurposing parts from old cement mixers, bicycles, chainsaws and potters’ wheels. Most often these machines spool, wind, bind and overlay layers of yarn, in a way reminiscent of traditional industries like twine making, but here employed in the creation of objects with a primarily aesthetic and symbolic purpose.

You can also see sculptures made by Will Cruickshank at The Cemetery Chapel, East Coker.
