Nancy Cohen
Nancy Cohen "Tilt a Whirl" - Abstract Sculpture of Glass and Handmade Paper

2021

About the Item

Nancy Cohen Tilt a Whirl, 2021 glass, metal, handmade paper 5 x 12 x 10 in. (coh065) Nancy Cohen works concurrently in two media: She creates organic sculptural forms from pieces of glass, and she creates drawings on hand-made paper using pigmented paper pulp as the drawing medium. These two ways of working are closely related both formally and conceptually.  Both the paper pulp and the sculpted glass function as the substrate for drawing lines, and both mediums are the physical embodiment of the essential thread that unites all of Cohen’s work– the relation between fragility and strength.
