The series of artworks entitled Stratum have been created by Peter Cook between the late 90s and the present.  To date there are eight works in the series.  Some Stratum artworks have been created in small limited editions of up to six.  Others are one-off pieces.

“Stratum 3’s predecessor S2 explored techniques that offered the promise of further artworks.  In pursuit of form and caricature, for Stratum 3, I learned to conceal a slender metal core behind a skin of wood.  Thin, sinuous tubes of layered wood appear extremely fragile, belying an amazing strength.
