BreathingLight - The art of Sandra Cohn opens at the MINE

MINE
gallery in Fairfax is opening a new solo show by local Marin artist Sandra Cohn
entitled BreathingLight. BreathingLight
runs from October 5th – December 1st,  2013.

An opening reception for BreathingLight will be from 6-9 pm, Saturday, October 5th at the MINE : 1820 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Fairfax, CA, 415-755-4472.

Fairfax
artist Sandra Cohn’s work Integrates sculptures with salvaged rusted metal pieces and written word. The
resulting work is a study of movement and interaction, an invitation to shift
perspective and experience altered frames of reference. Cohn assimilates
old pieces of broken necklaces, fabric, paper and even
rose petals from her garden into her work, often using surplus home
improvement materials which evokes an aesthetic of beauty that arises from
damaged, discarded, or commonplace elements. 

Cohn’s art reflects a lifelong
personal and career interest in the area of human consciousness and the study
of brain function and how it affects our understanding of reality and the
metaphysical. Her work in the field of neuropsychology at UCSF
in the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, included treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy,
brain diseases, stroke and brain tumors. This fascination with brain
functions and consciousness drives her work forward into a deeper inner
discovery of the consciousness of spirituality and the vast mystery of life. Cohn’s
work is inspired by the fine line between what we experience in our daily life,
how it informs our understanding, and that which is largely invisible to our
eye but still within the grasp of our hearts; that line between life and what
lies beyond. 

 BreathingLight
runs from October 5th through December 1st, 2013. MINE hours are Wednesday –
