Main Gallery MEM
To walk through the installation, Mem, is to enter a myth. A kaleidoscope of the divine feminine, there are fountains of light centering the space on the painting of Miriam one of the seven major prophetesses of Israel. Miriam carried a rock from which flowed an abundant amount of water during the 40 years Jewish people searched for a place to live in the desert. Access to this water made survival of her people possible. Smaller paintings surround her, as well as ritual objects such as papercuts and amulets. The title of Cohns show, Mem, is a Hebrew letter that has multiple significant meanings in the work. I recently took a class about the complexity, flexibility, and magic within a single Hebrew letter. When searching for a title, this one letter encapsulates many ideas I have considered while working in the studio. The shape can be seen as a wave and stands for the word for water, mayim, and Miriam and mikveh, a ritual bath used for transformation, Cohn said. Mem is related to feminine energy, motherhood, and the womb, symbolizing protection, safety, and giving to others.
