If Only I were a candle in the dark: Cosm
Artist: Cameron Krow
Location: East wall of Sister Bar Patio at 407 Central NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102
Launch: February 6, 2026 ArtWalk
Description: Cameron Krow's light-filled spherical sculpture is inspired by a poetic inquiry into what it means to hold onto and project the light in a world that often feels overwhelmed by darkness. Cosm glows from within, emitting soft, diffused light and is composed of piñon and juniper branches, concrete rubble, welded steel, LED lights, and glass. It appears at once as a planetary object which has crashed in from the heavens and as some kind of ore which is being pushed out from the earth's core. The title references both 'macrocosm' and 'microcosm' to intentionally suspend distinguishing between the two, and attempts to illustrate that it is really all the same thing. There is no inner- and outer-space - there's just space. What is earthly is also heavenly. What is light is also stardust. Once we remember what we really are, we begin to see ourselves in everything else and can then work to live in alignment with that truth, spreading the love that connects us to all things.
