Cloth Islands
Liadin Cooke 2026

Cloth Islands (blue + white) is about narratives of place, belonging and the limits of human reason and control in our increasingly polarised world.  Islands are both escapisms and escaping, they embody our curiosity of the unknown. Often theorised as insular bounded spaces and holders of the alien, they hint at invented mythical lands of loss and wistful longing, like the Fortunate Isles or Fata Morgana mirages.

The word ‘cloth’ is often used to describe things that possess no physical mass or lasting substance, the bronze and wax are marks of a bog-time.
