Imagination... without boundaries
While the spontaneous artistic experience persists in her painting, Cohen further unpacks the esoteric messages she received in her other artistic medium: jewelry. Cohen's work with metals stands in stark contrast to her painting, offering her a highly controlled and calculated means of expression. She often engages one strong cryptic message or symbol derived from her painting as an inspiration for a series of jewelry design.
Cohen views the preciseness of jewelry creation as a way to deepen her contemplation of the symbols and signs that are revealed to her in her paintings. The process of architecting jewelry enables her to materialize the cryptic messages she receives during her highly subconscious painting process. She sees the highly contrasting mediums of painting and jewelry creation as a means to obtain a zen-like balance as an artist.
