Diane Cooper, Mind Triggering Abstract

Although hard to categorize, Diana Cooper’s work is an abstract way of constructing wonderfully engaging and interesting art works that provoke new emotions. A Rome Prize winner, Cooper combines drawing, painting, sculpture and installation to come up with these handmade visual hybrids that stun you at a first glance. With unlikely contexts and common materials such as foam core, felt, corrugated plastic sheeting, numbered map pins, acetate, Velcro, neoprene and pom poms, Cooper’s work gathers our daily environments and puts them together in unexpected juxtapositions. The Mechanical Cloud, the Orange Alert, the Emerger or the Swarm, it is the unnamable that makes us crave for a touch. [via Fabrik-Projekt]
