Description:	'In "Bearing" by Mark Cannon, the artist (…) uses materials found in the fabrication of every home, planks of wood and polyfilla. However, the artist provides us with a new perspective on these otherwise uninspiring materials; through careful working and finishing he elegantly transforms them to produce an object of graceful dignity.'
