MIXED MEDIA TEXTILE SCULPTURE – CATCH ME – ARTISTA COCO

The Play of the Moment

Catch Me is a vibrant, textile staging of fleeting moments and the human longing for connection. This piece is dedicated to the study of dynamics: the act of reaching, holding, and letting go. It is an artistic exploration of movement—a playful, almost mischievous dialogue between the static form of the sculpture and the lively energy suggested by its title.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The sculpture captivates through a multi-layered texture that tells stories from various eras and contexts. The selection of materials is a deliberate play on contrasts and haptic stimuli:

• Recycled Fabrics: Sustainably sourced textiles granted a second, artistic life through transformation, featuring deep teal satins and metallic rose-gold surfaces.

• Hand-Crocheted Elements: Vibrant pink and neon yellow segments, embedding a meditative rhythm into the work.

• Bavarian Heritage: An integrated heirloom—a delicate lace fragment from a traditional Dirndl—anchors the sculpture firmly in personal history and roots.

• Lingerie Details: Subtle elements like turquoise straps and hardware lend the work a note of vulnerability and intimate human connection.

• Tactile Contrasts: The inclusion of soft, faux-fur textures alongside sharp, red feathered accents creates a sensory experience that invites the eye to wander.

• Found Objects: Beads, pearls, and golden wire provide delicate structural highlights that bind the composition together.

The Spiritual Hunter

At the heart of the work is one of Coco’s signature animal figures, acting here as a “Hunter of the Moment.” Positioned as a guardian of the composition, this creature is not a predator in the classical sense, but a bridge-builder between the earthly and the spiritual. It symbolizes the intuition and alertness required to capture the beauty of a fleeting second. The fluid transitions between the figure and the abstract, intertwined forms emphasize the elusive nature of life’s flow.

Versatility

Catch Me is designed to adapt to the surrounding environment. Its organic nature allows the work to be experienced in different ways:

• Wall Mounted: As a dynamic focal point that casts shadows and adds depth to a room through its protruding, needle-like forms.

• Surface Display: Placed on a surface, the three-dimensional form invites the viewer to appreciate the interplay of textures—from the plush to the metallic—from every angle.
