“Healing” by Artist Evan M. Cohen

by Staff

Another lovely comic from New York-based artist and illustrator Evan M. Cohen (previously featured here).

 

I can see the forest
In the distance,
I can hear my name
From above,
I am alive,
I am magnetic,
The Earth pulls at my love.

She wakes me
With her electric skies,
She shows me
How to live
With graceful eyes.
She is the wind
Through the trees,
Moving silent sounds,
I am the rain
From the heavens,
Falling to the ground.

On the surface I will rise
To find a new home,
Draw my veins in the dirt,
Let the roots wrap my bones.

My body floats down
A river of sand,
My limbs reach out
For her hands.
She is the sun
And I listen to her demands,
The golden hour is here,
Shining down on her land.

The flowers,
Like music,
Floating in the air.

The trees,
Like statues,
Waiting in prayer.

New color in the times of slow coffee

Terrence Caviar & Kristin Texeira

We’re crazy about the paintings of our friend Kristin Texeira, so we had the idea to make photos inspired by the elemental shapes and soothing color palettes that make up Kristin’s beautiful abstract compositions.

Everyone under stay-in-place mandates (Kristin in upstate New York, myself in San Francisco, and Michelle in Columbus, Ohio), we collaborated remotely and were reliant on using items we already had in our possession. Longing for structure and connection

in this weird time of physical separation, it was so nice to have constraints and purpose in mind while choosing props and materials, grabbing colors, shapes and textures that would lend themselves well to becoming painterly worlds in photographs.

We worked closely using video chat while shooting, and aimed to flatten out space and create a bit of perspective confusion. It was great to squint at our compositions and say, “Does this feel like Kristin?” After photographing, we sent Kristin the images and worked together on choosing the background color that best suited each original photograph.

While we created “paintings” with our photos, Kristin flipped it back to photography through her paintings by playing with where the image sat on the page, referencing magazine layouts – some compositions are full bleed, while some take up only 1/6 th of the page.

This project has been a perfect balance of work and exploration. Working with others holds you accountable to produce, and provides structures of beginnings and endings. At the same time, working with other artists allows you to move slowly, allowing for daydreaming which can lead to new discoveries. It’s a really nice

feeling to share in creativity together – even when apart.

Hubble Spots Galaxy’s Dramatic Details

Some of the most dramatic events in the universe occur when certain stars die — and explode catastrophically in the process. When these star deaths, or supernovae, occur, their brightness can rival the light of a whole galaxy. The galaxy NGC 5468, shown in this Hubble image, has hosted a number of these supernovae the past 20 years.
