Working primarily in alabaster, Cook creates vessels and sculptural objects that are at once solid and atmospheric, shaped as much by light as by the hand. Soft Divide also introduces a new body of work in bronze.
Self-taught, Cook’s practice has developed through sustained engagement with materials, arriving at a focused exploration of stone. Alabaster, with its delicate translucency, allows light to enter and move within the form, revealing internal structure and subtle variations that shift throughout the day. Each work is conceived with an awareness of its environment, responding to changing conditions of light and space. His forms balance geometric clarity with organic movement. Edges soften, surfaces undulate, and volumes appear to expand and contract, suggesting a quiet sense of motion held within stillness.
