Carol Cole

In my work, I aim to tap into universal archetypes...making multi-cultural references and seeing beauty in unexpected places. I use what will become relics of the twenty-first century–found manufactured objects–encrust them with paper pulp, and transform them into iconic abstract sculptures in which common objects attain elegance and the familiar is seen anew.
                       
I love the versatility of paper pulp. I can make thin wet sheets to coat objects or use handfuls of it to create rich textures. Multiple layers of paint enhance and protect the surface and make what is light look heavy and what is new look ancient.
