Oneoneone is pleased to announce the opening of Sometimeish, an exhibition of new paintings by Casey Cook. She has been exhibiting with LIGHT since 2012, and this is her second solo exhibition with the gallery.

In 2025, Casey Cook received a photograph of a traditional Caribbean sailboat, which was damaged, propped up by tree limbs, ribs exposed, and surrounded by debris from a recent hurricane. The vessel depicted, known as Laser, was originally built by hand in 1986 by some of the last traditional shipwrights of Carriacou, the largest island in the Grenadines.The photograph of Laser became the inspiration for a new body of paintings. Deeply moved by the image of this vulnerable boat , the artist visited Carriacou to meet Laser. While on the island, she photographed, sketched, painted, and learned more about the fading art of handbuilt sloops there. 

Sometimeish, a term used on the island, references a state of being that is fluid, shifting, moody, and ephemeral. This feeling of impermanence echoes throughout the works. The ground and sky shift in color and energy. A solitary figure and various objects arrange and rearrange themselves around the protective shelter of the boat. Through these visual shifts, the form of the boat, a potent symbol of resilience and repair, returns again and again. Its ghostly presence appears both soft and solid, at times mended with patches of cast-like plaster. The works in Sometimeish are quiet meditations on a singular subject with great personal and universal significance.
