Cocoon dimensions vary: 36" up to 84" in height silicone, neon

The "Cocoon" pieces are the individual works making up the installation "Birth of Ideas" in the "Celebration in the Oaks." They evolved from the conceptual manifestation of thought as energy with energy in this case represented by light in the form of neon.
