Is it weaving? Or is it photography? The work defies conventional disciplinary boundaries. This liminal existence is a source of carefully constructed tension. On occasion, pieces slip subtly to one side or another of the divide, and Cook gently pulls them back. She re-crafts a balance between what the work is and what it is also, so that, like the images she weaves, recognition is at first somewhat obscured. Cook is perfectly comfortable mapping the contradiction. She sees her work firmly rooted to the textile tradition and simultaneously traveling loosely on the boundaries of more than one medium.
