Linda Cohen – Joomchi Collage and Sculpture
Artist Statement
Color and texture have fascinated me since my early childhood attempts with glue and paper. Twenty years as a floral designer gave me an opportunity to learn about color, composition and creativity.
From painting to mixed medium, texture and dimension became my passion. Exploring papers led me to Joomchi (Korean felted paper). Using this beautiful, organic technique in my work creates textures that take my collages to a new level.
I realized I enjoy drawing in the art observer and seeing them wonder at my art. They ask what medium I use. They want to touch it. They are always surprised it began as paper.
My journey with Joomchi is far from over. I am inspired as I continue to experiment and learn from this ancient technique that absolutely belongs as a contemporary artist’s medium.
