Having an interest in Surrealism and Modernist sculpture (particularly the work of Hans Arp, Louis Bourgeoise, and Barbara Hepworth), Paula Cooley strives to make work that is sensuous, elegant, and controlled yet tinged with the grotesque. In Mix, these dualities of beauty vs. grotesque, attraction vs. menace, and organic vs. industrial lead her to create ambiguous forms that are animated, whimsical, and otherworldly.
