“Sculpture, for Cragg, represents an active way of interrogating the world and a catalyst for heightening our sensitivity to it. It is, for him, needed not only to visualize, shape and demonstrate complicated ideas, but also to explore the material world and uncover its possibilities." John Wood in: Exh. Cat., Berlin, Stiftung Akademie der Künste, Tony Cragg: In and Out of Material, 2007, pp. 14-15
