Will Cruickshank

(b 1974, United Kingdom. Lives and works in Brixham)

Will's recent practice has focused on creating objects and drawings through the development of self- built machinery. It is a practice grounded in learning by doing; and thinking through making. In this work; material; machine; and maker; each take their turn in leading or resisting outcomes. The improvised machines or tools fall short of their tasks and are refined; or these failures point in new directions to be explored.
