Crane freestyle

Chains of cranes. One crane to another.

Most of the space of the crane is imagination.

This morning, the cranes are onto me. As soon as I fix to draw them, they move. Some of them move so fast

These look like they might adorn a Captain Beefheart album or summat.

At its simplest, at rest, the crane is an uneven cross, a deformed crucifix, stunted on one side, overgrown on the other. Christianity out of balance. Looking over the city, about to move.

They are a sign of things to come.

The cranes are before the towers. They represent our imagination. They are active when looking down to us. When they rest, they do so almost at full stretch, in rings as like animals, protective of one another.

The towers can get built, but might also fall, in fact will never reach where we want them to reach.
