Maurie Polak
In the cocoon a larvae’s body is literally liquefied and then reconstituted. Nobody knows how this process occurs. The struggle to break through its protective casing is the final stage of development that enables the animal to emerge as a completely new life form. The artist, Maurie Polak [RISD MFA ’09, Jewelry], is interested in the universally physical and biological metamorphosis of a larvae as an allegory for the profoundly personal, emotional, spiritual, and psychological transitions and transformations that take place throughout human life. This work encourages the viewer and wearer to consider their own personal evolution and metaphorical cocoons. The wearer and the viewer are given the opportunity to ponder the notion that at each moment every person inhabits a liminal space, continually emerging from one developmental phase upon the threshold of the next, engaging the present as the only potential for the future.
