Icaria

By  jo cohn 2024

Icaria, a limited edition etching.

Named after the land where Icarus fell, I made this map- like image imagining Icarus flying too high, not out of disobedience or pride, but, instead, because he is transfixed by the unexpected beauty of the world he sees far beneath him. It was included in the RA Summer Exhibition 2024
