I wanted my first bronze piece to be a vase, as it’s the form that I started with and began my career in sculpture. Vases and vessels for me are a constant source of inspiration and reinterpretation. The open half allows the viewer to see inside the inner surface texture, left behind by the sand casting process. The window allows the viewer to see through and past the vase into it’s surroundings.
About Oliver Cook
Oliver Cook (b.1992, Bristol) creates abstract sculptures and vessels in alabaster, a material whose translucency allows light to become an active element within the work. Self-taught, his practice has developed through a sustained engagement with making, evolving from wood, ceramics and metal into a focused exploration of stone.
