Cobi Cockburn’s solo exhibition Primary Lines considers light as material, reducing the visual language to two elemental forces: light and line. Shaped through encounter, the works unfold as perceptual fields rather than fixed objects.
Light operates as an active agent – revealing and erasing in equal measure – producing fleeting moments of clarity while dissolving stable form. Line, traditionally a marker of direction and boundary, becomes contingent, shifting with light and the viewer’s position. Together, they generate spatial conditions that resist resolution, where meaning is not prescribed but discovered through experience.
