Artist Nancy Cohen has worked with handmade paper in many ways, producing both two-dimensional and three-dimensional sculptural work in her practice. Cohen said of her work in handmade paper in 1992, “I can appear to defy gravity, incorporate light and exploit extreme imbalances in weight. All of this allows me to make literal the delicate, tenuous, ephemeral balance we all maintain. Working with handmade paper provides an implication of the body in the work—its touch and tenderness, its frailty and endurance.”
