'Out of Reach' by Amy Cohen – online exhibition

From delicate shells to looming mountains, ‘Out of Reach’ by Amy Cohen is a community exhibition influenced by awe-inspiring, organic structures. Cohen experiments with form, materiality, and texture through ceramic sculpture and collages to emulate natural objects and landscapes. 

‘Out of Reach’ explores the wonderment and possibilities of the vast world around us that fuels our imagination yet can sometimes leave us wanting. Recalling childhood experiences of seeing sunlit landscapes that could never be reached, Cohen takes impressions from leaves and other organic materials and moulds them into mountain peaks, cliff faces and rolling valleys. Cohen’s shell-like sculptures emphasise the beauty that comes from looking closely upon the natural world, a persistent reminder of the sublimity of the everyday.  

‘Out of Reach’ delivers a body of work forged by a life-long fascination with natural forms that has informed Cohen’s visual practice for over 2 decades.

Many of the artworks in this exhibition are for sale.
