Cora’s paintings are defined by architecture, and in particular by the architecture of New York City. Drawing inspiration from the act of construction, and using a process of painting with wax (encaustic), Cora’s work examines the very process of building itself. Reflecting upon the transitory life cycle of seemingly permanent structures, and applying this investigation to the mutable aspects of being human, Glasser’s paintings force the viewer to ask a question most near our collective desire for importance and meaning: What will I leave behind, and will it be remembered?
