BteathingLight - The art of Sandra Cohn at 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 – Saturday 11am – 6pm, Sunday 12pm – 4pm. For more information please call (415) 755-4472 or visit our website: www.gallerymine.com
