I apply the technical precision and vigor of digital photography to the shamanic rituals of my daily life. I treat shamanism and photography as contiguous: both operate in the liminal space between the visible and the invisible, making manifest what’s beyond our senses. The smallest plant seeds and pods, gathered from dust on East Bay trails and elsewhere, take center stage, become transformed, and are endowed with new powers in my minimalist prints.
"Cohen installs her work to create a space of awe and contemplation, what she calls “sacred space.” The reference is to a practice that dwells in the realm between the physical and spiritual worlds, linking our plane of existence with a higher plane."
