METROPOL COCOONS

Since at least the late 1600s, English speakers have been using the noun cocoon for the silky covering that surrounds a caterpillar or other insect larva in the pupa stage of metamorphosis. Metropol Cocoons alludes to the intimate spaces that we might find in our daily lives. The straight lines denoting walls or wall cavities juxtaposed with the rounded spaces as spatial or 3D sketches. Some nooks to inhabit, to feel warm and protected, the micro spaces that warm our harts. 

This piece is nearly primitive in its fabric. Some kind of life-journey which takes the viewer through a life path. Spaces are both, open and intimate, some follow various perspectives, directions...the unexpected turn, this is a timeless piece... with a twist.
