MARIA COHEN
I always try to capture a moment of a physical vibration, shaking and fluctuations which typical for frustration or affectation. I watch it everywhere around wildlife and inanimate things. I catch myself on a thought that I usually deeply feel the engagement among array of things and me. It is the deepest connection with the whole body and the environment around. Indeed, when you can feel and touch the essence of things. In Baroque that looks like training twists and turning its folds, pushing them to infinity, fold over fold, one upon the other. In my practice I use layers as Baroque's folds like a symbolic attitude to constantly changing events from the routine life.
It is like a meditation or trance when every controversial part of me merges and lead my hand and eye to a different perspective of view. In every day life I call it as break for a minute for listening a beat of heart, to feel physical skin or bones, to see buffeting of trees and bushes, to see the connection and strongest sexual energy of things around like mannequins in a shop window, or strongest disgusting smell from mix of places at one tiny place.
