About the Item

Steeped in the confines of domestic space, Amber Cobb’s biomorphic sculptures consider function and utility in their delightfully awkward attempts to hold space. Ranging from 5’9” to 13 inches tall, Cobb’s sculptures are scaled to the artist as adult and juvenile. Designed to personally accompany her, strategically placed limbs hold scarves and hats, a knee juts out to take a seat on, and a fleshy pocket serves as key receptacle. Cobb’s playfully contorted sculptures consider physical and psychological experience when in close quarters, embodying movement through space as we step around the furniture we selected, step over the pets we selected, embrace or recoil from the partners we selected. Metaphorically referencing the difficulty and failings of language while locked in close quarters with one another, Cobb’s characters add new facets to the idea of body language.

At times seemingly benevolent and at others cruel, the vast sky is in constant diaphanous conversation with the landscape and activity below. Middlebrook’s signature “canvas” of polished cross...
