Cohen Meir: My first connection with the iron was at 14 in my father workshop, metal, rust, stains, leave me an impression of the material that grew stronger over the years. Engraving came later. i discover it during sketch, when I use a fork and scratch the metal, forcefully to change, to mark my will inside the material. I felt that the combination of the two connects me to something very deep , very personal. I receive the metals clean, whit no rust, than i attempt to control the natural way of the rust progression , rust is the death of metal, the iron is transformed and changes the value and symbolism, from physical to the metaphysical. Engraving the matal creates something fresh and new,like new life, and those connected with the old one. whit time changes. The image change, everything is temporary, even the color's. Artistic process analogous to the process of creation, and the artistic creativity becomes a god creation. invasion into the material came from a place of compulsion, brutal act that comes under control, this is the ring seal, self-embedding in the material, a new creation that continues to live and become a part of me
