Elizabeth Cohen has created a series of wearable felt appendages that convey the healing power of added body and animal parts. Presented as fashion accessories or bandages, they allude to the lengths people go to extend or maximize their youthful appearance through all forms of implants. Cohen is also interested in calling attention to the curative use of amphibian cells in experimental research, and wonders how these implanted cells will affect evolution.Her installation includes a video of the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade that is a humorous glimpse at the extremes that people go to become hybrids for a day.
