Barbara Friebe is a German designer and artist from Recklinghausen, who uses a multidisciplinary approach, varying techniques and different materials for her art, with a bias towards paper. Her series Cocoons adopts the common theme of the cocoon as a metaphor for metamorphosis and shelter, but also for destruction. Cocoons represent progress, evolution, change, creativity, emotion. They have a constant shape and are vessels for many different evolving life forms. A metamorphosis of a time in which actions and decisions give life to an evolution within a sheltered environment. The cocoon shape is explored in many different ways as is opens towards the outside world generating new shapes. This is achieved by folding and rolling the paper.
