THIS WAS PAINTED FROM THE MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER THROUGH NOVEMBER OF 2021, HOWEVER THE CONTENTS WITHIN EXIST OUTSIDE OF THOSE TIME BOUNDARIES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MOMENT IN TIME CAPTURED, HOWEVER IT IS ACTUALLY MANY EVENTS, WHICH ARE NOT BOUND TO A STANDARD LINEAR TIMELINE. IT IS A COLLAPSE AND AMALGAMATION OF THINGS WHICH ARE UNMANIFEST AND SEEK TO BE MANIFESTED, AS WELL AS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. A GREAT LIGHT CASTS RAYS WIDENING LIKE A FAN WITH THE WIDE PART EXTENDING TOWARD ME. EACH RAY IS A PATHWAY PROJECTING ON ITS OWN COURSE UNTIL IT ILLUMINATES ONE PART OF THE EARTH. FAR DOWN A RAY THERE ARE SPECTRES OF THE FAR-AWAY PAST, WHICH SCATTER AND CONTINUE ALONE UNTIL THEY OCCUPY MOST OF THE EARTH. 2021 EACH 24” x 36” WHOLE 48” x 72” OIL ON CANVAS PAINTINGS

SEDONA COHEN IS AN ARTIST ORIGINALLY FROM COLORADO AND CALIFORNIA. SHE IS CURRENTLY MAKING WORK IN COSTA RICA BEFORE FINISHING HER BFA IN PAINTING FROM THE RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN (2023). SHE CREATES IMAGINED LANDSCAPES WHICH, WHEN CLOSELY EXAMINED, REVEAL EXPANSIVE ECOSYSTEMS OF CHANNELED ENTITIES, APPARITIONS, BEINGS, CREATURES, AND ORGANISMS. ELEMENTS SUCH AS LIGHT, WATER, STEAM, AIR, AND FIRE ARE COMBINED AND PROCESSED THROUGH SYSTEMS WITHIN THE LANDSCAPES, TRANSFORMING THEM INTO OTHER ELEMENTS WHICH EACH FUNCTION DISTINCTLY WITHIN THE SPIRITUAL ECOSYSTEM. SEDONA USES PAINTING TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VISIBLE AND THE INVISIBLE AND AIMS TO CREATE A SPIRITUAL AND EXPANSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR THE VIEWER.
