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.

Textures of Living: A Collective Process Book





Textures of Living is a collaborative process book created by a myself, Madi Cole, Nitara Brooks, Eamon O’Maille, and Juliana Maurer as we planned the last projects of our academic careers. We used this book to develop and journal about our ideas and ideations. We often reviewed each other’s work during this process and found moments where our interests collided. Textures of Living encapsulates the convergences of our life experiences and design practices. Like the surfaces of rocks, no two life paths look or feel the same. These differences create inspiringly messy collaborations and ideation processes.

*The other three books featured above and below are other group’s process books.
