Marcia R. Cohen
Color spotting is a passion of mine. Always in pursuit of a
“color story,” or the ways color can identify a habitat or encode
a culture, I create chromatic equivalents for both physical and
numinous occurrences. I gather color clues and create hybridized
indigenous palettes that are translated into paintings, drawings,
photographs, and site-specific installations. I am influenced by
everything, and my work, in turn, is a restructuring of this evershifting
vantage point. Color functions as both subject and object
in my artwork, and it is steeped in a process of analysis and
synthesis of spectral phenomena, both real and imagined.
