For twenty years, Cobi Cockburn, who uses glass, light and line as her medium, has explored the emotional and spiritual connections to the colour white, investigating how abstraction, combined with the seemingly endless shades of white, can evoke human emotion. Pink Moon marks a departure from her established palette. Here, she uses colour as a metaphor for the human experience of being and feeling. Through creating large-scale yet intricate light-based sculptural works, she merges her skills in kiln-formed glass with industrial processes such as neon, architectural glass, and steel.
