Reversing Falls, 2018
paper pulp on handmade paper
49 x 53 in.
This original abstract artwork by Nancy Cohen is constructed in her unique signature style of working with pigmented paper pulp to create sculptural works on paper. This piece features swirling lines and organic shapes on a brilliant blue background.
"My drawings are constructed sculpturally. I begin by making pigmented papers and then assemble them, still wet, in a quilt-like fashion; later I draw on these constructed surfaces with various densities of paper pulp. The wet pulp on the dried sheets causes a buckling on the surface that appears very much like stitching. The finished works speak to the physicality of the body and simultaneously evoke an intimate sense of touch, in a way akin to being in nature experiencing both vastness and quiet moments of focus.
My working methods allow an implication of the body in the work—its touch and tenderness, its frailty and endurance. It is my goal that in this work, as in our own lives, elements hang in the balance, each one necessary, vulnerable, beautiful and above all interdependent."
