 
Andrew Cooper's sculptural installations are dramatic challenges to our perceptions of rationality, technology, and political power. A fascination with optical illusions and psychological dislocation pervade his work, as well as the moral questions of individuality in the age of science. Cooper's work is conceptual in that it is brought forth by specific ideas, but it is his textural choices, his palette, and his experience as a designer of major architectural works for corporate and public spaces, which bring forth the visceral power of his installations. Cooper's works have consistently exploited the qualities of glass: its fragility, its transparency, its role as mirror or canvas etched with floating text. His use of a strong black-white palette anchors these transparent installations and brings forth a tense vision of polarization. We are subjected to Andrew Cooper's manipulations, as we are any exercise of power, and we step out of his visions as if through a looking glass. Illusions and disorientation, brought about by light and vision--these are the tools, and the inspiration, for Andrew Cooper's investigations into space-time-reality.
