About The Artwork

Within cocoon a selection is shown of an ongoing process in which deceased insects are gathered throughout daily life. A fragile husk is all that remains from many of these creatures, yet upon closer inspection immense beauty may be found in their transient physical presence. Through adopting the insects into this colony of unseen passing, a new stage in the post-lifecycle is set in motion. Encased in a thin and vulnerable glass cocoon, they are offered temporary protection & preservation from outside influences, human or natural alike. The glass cocoon as an intervention allows for the short life of each of these individuals to resonate beyond their own time. An opportunity for us to take a more attentive look at these tiny beings which account for the majority of life on the planet. 10% of each sold cocoon will be donated to buglife in order to support their projects & campaigns. A contribution to a bigger cause that aids in protecting insects and their environment. For more information about the organisation please visit buglife.org.uk An artwork certificate will be included. The Cocoon can be installed with a poster buddy, which will be included as well as a shelf (10x15cm). Please be aware that the exosceleton of the insect may slowly transform & fall apart over time. Transiency is still present, yet slowed down by detaching it from the natural world.

Kim Gromoll (b. 1994 in Cologne, Germany) is a visual artist based in Maastricht, the Netherlands. She is fascinated by the many layers and aspects that make up our existence and reality and she finds herself drawn towards the essence and divinity of life. The underlying origin of everything. What helps her to connect and investigate this essence are subjects such as Beauty, Time, Light, Matter (the Elements) and Love. In her search for understanding the world she embraces all aspects of the physical, scientifical, multidimensional and spiritual. By doing so Gromoll aims to inspire people and open a door inside each one of us, that guides us towards our nonphysical as well as elemental essence and the ability to perceive the greater reality and spirit that connects all life.
