An Entanglement: Ancient Texts, Old Marginalia, and Contemporary Art
(Oakland University, 2012-10-01) Eis, Andrea; Cole, Natalie B.
This essay pivots around the practice of marginalia—notes written in the margins of books and other texts—and also navigates through the practice of my art, with its combination of research, chance occurrence and aesthetic experimentation. It is also a bit of a story, an exploration of how intellectual curiosity and visual fascinations can lead a person onto a new path that has no known destination. Though the practice of art usually produces end products in physical form, art is a process, not a goal, an exploration of ambiguity, not a determination of fact, an opening up of new possibilities, not a pinning down of definitive knowledge.
Talk Artist’s Statement
(Oakland University, 2012-10-01) Fausone, Lynn Galbreath; Cole, Natalie B.
Talk is a new drawing series created on acid free lithograph paper in graphite, gold leaf and metallic marker. Images used in each are taken from still life setups, digital documentation, object appropriation and research notes. They address humanitarian, social, identity and maturation issues, and falsehoods with contradictions.
