Will Cruickshank has a multidisciplinary practice which includes sculpture, film, printmaking, and participatory works. His recent work has focused on studio-based research and developing experimental machinery, materials, and production methods.
The resulting tactile sculptures often place an importance on colour, pattern and symmetry, appearing to be connected to something unknown and sacred.This air
of devotion can perhaps be explained by the meticulous processes involved in their creation, having been made using improvised tools and complex makeshift machines.
