Burning Down the House

My work serves as a reflection of the world as I see it -- a world that is both full of beauty and wonder and a strange, scary, absurd, random place. It seems to me that only by seeing the humor in what's going on all around us can we attain some kind of peace and continue to make art.
After graduating from Bennington College, Vermont, where I majored in sculpture, I founded a cottage industry, which produced stuffed toys and winged baseball caps. The popular vegetables and animals called Vegimals, have developed a cult following and my Peas in a Pod toy was featured in the 2010 movie Toy Story 3. Both my toy designing and my 20 years as an environmental and animal rights activist inform my current work in many ways, including humor and materials used such as fabric, papier mâché, paint, and ceramic. cocohall.com Instagram: coco.hall
