Glass is a material and at the same time a living matter, which over the years has lent itself to various experiments, ranging from those in which it interacts in a way that is never inferior to its surroundings, to those in which it is the protagonist of more intimate reflections. Using this perspective, the sculptures that Cragg began to produce in 2009, when he began working with Berengo Studio in Murano, are particularly important. In a striking evolution from the larger assemblages of the 1990s, the smaller hand-blown sculptures in glass, created with the master glass maestros of Berengo Studio, have allowed Cragg to access a new dimension of the material.

No longer bound to the traditional found forms of bottles and other classical objects, in his more recent works Cragg has been able to explore the possibilities of manipulating the medium in its molten state. This flexibility has seen him choreograph elaborate and original compositions in the Berengo furnace, which have emerged organically, sprouting from his mind and slipping through the hands of the maestro into a new physical presence, one that resists the stasis of sculpture and reaches instead to capture the movement and energy of single moment.
