Wood Laminations and Carving

Andrew T. Crawford

Minor Thread

Crawford’s recent body of work is an exploration in form and rhythm with an underlying theme of threaded material. Finding its origin in the artist’s fascination with nuts and bolts, Minor Thread is a playful journey through simple geometry, surprising scale, and a refreshing use of familiar imagery. Continuing his practice of exploiting common objects, Crawford invites the viewer to focus on that which may otherwise be overlooked.

"The Minor Thread project finds its origin in my artistic process. The practice of model building is the most effective way to realize any piece of sculpture. In this case, the models have become the finished work due to the photographic setting and exhibition catalog.

All ten sculptures in Minor Thread have been produced in editions of ten. Editions are signed and numbered and are available in complete sets. Furthermore, all of the works may be commissioned at any scale.

Please feel free to contact my workshop for information on purchasing a series of the sculptures, ordering more books, or commissioning larger versions of the works.

Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy Minor Thread."
