Le travail de Cal Lane est un mélange de matériaux brut, d'éléments d'un vocabulaire plutôt dur, et un travail tout en finesse.
"My new work has become more political, the consequence of living in a time of war and feeling the guilt of a bystander. With the first political piece titled “Filigree Car Bombing” I focused on creating a tasteless relationship of images. Images of flowers and “prettiness” in the form of a violent and sensitive situation. The crushed steel of the car is cut into fine lace creating a drapery of disruption and sadness, a conflict of attraction to fancy work and the attraction to a horrific image."
Cal Lane joue avec les contrastes, mais également avec les liens ; les éléments de son installation finissent par créer une grande tapisserie.
