Description
What happens when we pause to pay closer attention to our relationships with the earth and each other? This three-day workshop offers meditative entrances into these sacred connections through guided exercises in experimental sound, writing, somatic engagement, and making ceremonial objects with beeswax and cloth. Join visual artist Zoë Cohen and poet Donna Henderson for a deep dive into the present. Together we will tap into the power of drone sounds, humming, beehives, water, words, cento poetry, and beeswax as we collectively invite the earth to heal us.
About the Instructor
Born in Chicago in 1961, Zoë Cohen was strongly affected by the classic graphic influences of a mid-century urban environment. Everyday exposure to modern architecture, graphic design, photography, painting and sculpture permanently imprinted her mind. Zoe’s abstract painting springs from her lifelong fascination with mid-century art and design, Abstract Expressionism, The New York School painters and the historic influences which shifted the locus of the international art scene from Nazi occupied Europe to New York following WWII.
