Nacho Carbonell Table Cocoon 13 (33/2016)

The works in Nacho Carbonell’s Table Cocoon series have a stirring quality, with a complex combination of colours and bulbous, cocoon-like shapes that verge on the fantastical. This piece, number 13 in the series, has a silvery blue appearance, consisting of a sheathe of meshed material positioned on top of a small square stool acting as the base. It continues the artist’s wider practice of creating sculptural lamps out of metal mesh, with pigmented plaster applied to create substance, texture and movement.
