Through imagery revolving around the cycles of life and death, seasons, joy, and pain, Cooper explores the relationship between making art and an unhealthy reliance on it for self-worth and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooper discovered that art is the result of one's experiences on this earth and not the reason for them. This awareness fueled experiments with various media, psychologically driven concepts, and a love of animals and nature—all of which continue to typify Cooper's work in their newest body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection highlights over 155 drawings and paintings that includes new art, plus a sampling of older, unpublished pieces not included in previous volumes. Works from Cooper's 2021 solo show \u003ci\u003eGilt\u003c\/i\u003e at Gallery Nucleus are gathered here, along with some that were featured in the 2023 solo show \u003ci\u003eCurious\u003c\/i\u003e at the same gallery.
