“The quiet landscape, a feeling, a space, with distance and memory, both spiritual and physical, a place of meaning, my own story.” – Cobi Cockburn, 2010

Cobi Cockburn is a graduate of the Sydney College of the Arts and The Australian National University School of Art in Canberra. The unique beauty of the natural environment inspires Cockburn’s work in glass. To create the subtle gradations of color inherent to In Still, Cockburn layered fine hues of glass varying in opacity and transparency to give the very intricate soft and fibrous patterns seen in the work.
