Description:

Composition featuring a man. A serpent is seen in a rape field.


"Cranston is a storyteller of sorts, without a clear story to tell. His work is seductive in terms of narrative and humour, but it is the humour of Samuel Beckett or Buster Keaton, always touching on the strangeness and pathos of ordinary life."
Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh.
