Squeeze will be on display at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris from 14 October - 20 December 2024.

The exhibition delves into the process of creating reflective surfaces, which he describes as a form of alchemy - a combination of liquids that form a perfect mirror layer. This process made the artist imagine the time before the invention of the mirror, when humans saw their rippling reflections in water or hazy reflections in semi-polished metal.  

As a starting point for these works, Cocksedge compresses three-dimensional soft circular forms. These shapes are then reinterpreted into two-dimensional mirrors, transforming the essence of the soft forms into flat, reflective surfaces, creating a sense of movement. The work’s frames serve as structures that hold these forms in place.
