Terms familiar from art and museology such as custodianship, ownership and stewardship, become both illustration and metaphor in regard to the need to address the future life of the world around us.\u00a0 Issues of gender and hierarchies of practice are integral to her work.<\/p>\n<p>She deploys a variety of media and arenas of practice. Temporary installations marshal artefacts of many types: found and natural, those in collections such as \u2018cabinets of curiosities\u2019 created by the 19thc polymath naturalist collectors; and her own studio made work. Other media such as film, installation, performance, blogs and publications are used to re-present ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Within this broad field of enquiry, specific ideas and imagery become conduits for provocations as to how we understand and express the issues. For example, with the whale as subject she takes in the recent history and myth making around the creature, from the story of \u2018Moby Dick\u2019 to current debates about sustainability and the biodiversity of the oceans.<\/p>\n<p>On midsummers day 2017 in rural Cornwall, Cockayne filled a retired 44ft wooden fishing vessel named Embrace with 300 artworks, to form the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angelacockayne\/?hl=en\"><strong>Ark Embrace<\/strong> collection<\/a>. A film, which archives this collection and selected works, was recently shown at the Newlyn Art Gallery in December 2107.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.arkembrace.wordpress.com\"><em> <strong>Ark Embrace<\/strong><\/em><\/a> project asks how artistic and curatorial interventions can engage and enhance ecological public understanding, in particular, with the unpalatable implications of a sixth-mass extinction. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angelacockayne\/?hl=en\"><strong><em>Embrace<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>explores environmental issues through interdisciplinary practice, dialogue and curiosity.\u00a0The ambition to create an ethical chamber of wonders, which obliquely disrupts and
