Maggie Cole: A Retrospective, is an exhibition of
work done over a period of 14 years. The origins of the artist's
current painting are seeded in her early works in dry point and works on
paper. This show will feature select works from periods in Cole's
broad body of work. The artist described her process by stating, "When I
begin I don't have a clear idea of what the finished piece will
look like, but I do have a very clear idea of the aesthetic quality I am
after. I am always trying to make objects that convey or make clear a
feeling - often this feeling is a bittersweet one, reflecting I suppose,
how life appears to me."
