L.A.-based artist Colin Roberts does things with perspex (plexiglass) that I never thought possible. His pieces are gorgeous and whimsical and many of them employ cultural imagery from my childhood through the present. I first saw his stained glass-looking Cookie Monster above and knew I needed to know more. Who would even think to make such a thing?

Roberts clearly enjoys turning the art form of stained glass on its head. But though his perspex creations might evoke a chuckle, they’re also staggeringly beautiful, with rich colors and highly-reflective finishes. You could use his pillow sculptures in place of a disco ball!

“I was inspired to use the pillow shape because it’s an object that is so common, yet as humans, we all have a special relationship to, without realizing it. A pillow is something every human can recognize and long for when needing rest. It represents comfort, rest, and sleep for our mind, body, and soul.”
