CHLOE M. COOKE


My creative practices are rooted in experimentation and play. I often create work that allows me to understand and discover more about the world through connections. The intersections between beauty and truth unravel before us as we move through life. These moments are often shaped by our entanglements—with ourselves, each other, our communities, and the land around us. The nonhuman experiences can show us the depths of humanity. When we document these quiet moments and intentionally weave discovery into our reality, we gain the ability to dream of new paths for ourselves and others.

Endangered Appalachia 





This experimental book form series encapsulates five different endangered Appalachian species. Each form explores how book forms can portray different storytelling methods while bringing awareness to endangered species in Appalachia. The book forms are based on the species' physical characteristics and how they interact with their ecosystems. All of the book forms are RISO printed and connected by a found poem about evolution and adaptation to changes in natural environments.
