Thomas Michael Crannage is a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow, specializing in sculpture. His practice is rooted in the raw poetry of materials, where found objects and consumerist remnants are transformed into quietly powerful meditations on decay, resilience and the passage of time. Working primarily with steel, plaster and salvaged textiles, he explores the tension between human intervention and the inherent agency of matter itself.

His process is both intuitive and deliberate – allowing material to speak, fractures to form and surfaces to weather according to their own logic. Whether suspending fragile assemblages or anchoring brutalist forms in precarious balance, his work exposes the beauty in impermanence, often blurring the line between construction and collapse.

Inspired by his experience growing up in post-industrial landscapes, Thomas’s sculptures act as relics of urban entropy, each piece bearing the scars of its making. His installations invite viewers to consider the silent histories embedded in everyday materials, from a weathered tarp to a rusted bolt. Humor and humility underpin his approach, as seen in his untitled works and sly critiques of art-world formalism.
