Became familiar with this artist through my research on R. H. Quaytman. While this artist is not contemporary,having died in 1951,the ideas and concepts that the artist was investigating and her approach are still very relevant to contemporary art and very relevant to the project. Kobro was a proponent of the theory unitism that states that sculpture does not exist for its own sake,it's aim being to sculpt space. I find the artists method of using her sculptural materials to what could be described as drawing lines to sculpt and divide space very effective. The sculptures absorb and penetrate space at once.
