Join us for this weekly conversation between photographer Craig Cutler and illustrator Craig Frazier, whose collaboration is a testament to the unexpected alchemy of creative play. The Two Craigs project consists of one weekly prompt interpreted by the pair for 52 weeks.
Check out the full series as it unfolds.
Go backstage on the Two Craigs website to see how the pair translate the prompt through photography and illustration.
Tight
“I wanted to create a brutalist sculpture using two blocks of steel inside a C clamp. I always found tools to be very inspirational when creating still life photographs.
I was also inspired by Walker Evans B&W photographic series of individual tools he created over a century ago.Craig Cutler
Adjectives are tough. I have to represent a certain feeling. I initially thought of things like a tight situation of tightening a bolt. It’s kind of mechanical. I pulled on a surgical glove as they are always too tight. Sure enough, if I didn’t put it on all the way, it exaggerated the tightness. It was fun to draw with colored pencils—a homage to Craig’s red hand (#28).
