Cocoon

Cocoon is an engaging illuminated sculpture that expresses a sense of rebirth and transformation. Formally, the sculpture is a three dimensional line drawing floating in space that allows people to move through it creating a sense of compression as they enter the sculpture, safe enclosure while inside it, and release when they emerge from the end. The curving, organic and diaphanous form has been captured at the precise instant when its chrysalis has emerged but the cocoon is still intact.

Artists Blessing Hancock, Joseph O'Connell of Creative Machines, and Nina Borgia-Aberle used stainless steel to create an enclosed structure representative of a cocoon. The brushed stainless steel arcs reflect the sun giving the artwork a glowing appearance that mirrors the colors of the sky and nearby landscape, and creates a dense field of shadows in the Cocoon and surrounding area.
