About Me'Winter Tree' utilises a simple form - the plate - as a matrix for the creative expression of Cohen's ideas about life and nature. Slip cast plates reach from floor level spreading outwards in impressive scale. The full extent of the branches is not realised completely, leaving the viewer to respond to the haunting beauty of a tree that has shed its leaves.More About Me
Clay became this artist’s “most loved medium, expressed through a diverse and vast oeuvre sealing his legacy as one of Scotland's greatest ceramic artists."
