Cohen, a Sonoma County-based architect and builder for over 40 years, is drawn to contrasts: new and old, created and found, weathered and highly finished. His sculptural art fabrications start with items he finds washed up on West Coast beaches. Alan transforms these materials in his Sea Ranch or Healdsburg shop, adding old fishing tackle, rusted wire, tools, brushes, and other recycled objects to create birds, underwater creatures, masks, and abstract pieces. His work is a blend of simplicity, elegance, whimsy, and fantasy.
