A project depicting possible communities of women by Boston-based artist Genevieve Cohn (previously featured here). Drawing from both a historical and imaginative past, present, and future, Cohn utilizes imagery and ideologies drawn from The Women’s Land Army from World War I and World War II, as well as female separatist communities, fairy tales and literary fiction.

“My paintings acknowledge and reflect a world where female power is derived from collaboration, self-endowed agency, and connection with the natural world. I consider ideas of collection, adornment, beauty, and choice as the figures within the worlds of my work construct spaces that engage ideas of ritual and practice. These paintings in particular explore the quiet force of attention, and the ways in which we cultivate meaning by what we choose to tend to.”
