From the exhibit website:
"What I know, or what I think about …. nothing is constant, the universe is vast, we are small, we dwell within our body, and there is mystery to life.
For the past several years Holly Cohn has been creating paintings and sculptural constructions that respond to Wisława Szymborska's poem Sky. Touched by the questions Sky poses about the mystery of loss and connection, Cohn translates her response into visual metaphor. She combines landscape fragments and images of deep space—which she calls "unframed markers of particular moments"—with etched metal elements and found objects to create hauntingly beautiful pieces that defy categorization. The exhibition's title, The Endless Unbegun, is taken from a poem by Rachel Jamison Webster, whose work has also had a powerful influence on Cohn's thinking."
Another part of this show is Homing, exhibit of paintings by Letha Kelsey.
