The artist’s fast working pace is also something she developed early on and kept, even as she transitioned from mostly large-scale, black charcoal drawings done on the ground, using her entire body, to the colorful oil paintings that she is known for today. Speed “is very important, because it comes from the performance art scene of the 1970s and 80s,” said Cahn. “The body dictated more or less the speed or the duration of a performance [in those works] and I found that very interesting.
she found her work rhythm quickly, which is one she said is short and “very intensive.” As for young artists trying to make it in a more difficult economic climate, Cahn suggested“Art is something that’s slow in itself, so you need enough time to find what you want to do, and how you want to work,” she added..
