Current Work
In her latest explorations, Cobb continues to address human relationships, emotions, and experiences through the abstraction and reconstruction of animal forms. This body of work marks a departure from her past use of 3D-printed materials, instead focusing on repurposed, discarded, and forgotten objects as a primary source of inspiration.
Inspired by fables and folklore, Cobb uses animal and plant imagery to examine human existence, creating forms that convey lessons about life, morality, and the passage of time. She envisions alternative realities in which organisms grow, age, and evolve in unexpected ways, revealing both resilience and fragility.
Sustainability is central to her current practice. By repurposing deadstock and secondhand jewelry components, Cobb extends the life of these materials while examining the histories and narratives embedded in each piece. These reclaimed elements carry traces of former lives, highlighting themes of continuity, memory, and transformation.
This work invites reflection on impermanence, renewal, and the delicate balance between creation and conservation. Through reimagined materials and references to the natural world, Cobb considers nature’s inclination to hoard and nest alongside human nature’s own tendency toward gluttony and excess.
