Luke McCreadie uses sculpture, ?lm, performance and music as methods of making to produce a single body of work, each part building upon the other. He takes confusion, mis-communication and mistakes as a positive starting point. McCreadie’s work often borrows imagery from art history, attempting to expose the lunacy of a historical grand narrative. Henry Moore’s sculptures made into lamps or Bauhaus masked men giving a talk from behind a sculpture, without speaking and communicating only in clay. The crisps ‘Wotsits’ form a shorthand for sculptural language but also a red herring in terms of meaning in some of the work.
