Description: Barbara Cole's artwork is collected by public and private institutions and has been exhibited worldwide including at the Canadian embassies in Washington D. C. and Tokyo Japan. Cole who is often referred to as an inventor uses a raw hands - on photographic process that is consistent with her belief that the possibilities of photography are virtually limitless. Since the early 1980s she has channelled her appreciation for the camera itself. She is dedicated to the history of photography by deviating from automatic cameras and techniques. Barbara Cole uses photography to play with notions of time place and identity. In her numerous series Cole often asks the questions: how do you paint an image of timelessness? How do you capture the feeling of weightlessness in an image? Her ethereal photography takes on a quintessential painterly quality with the transformation of figures a predominant theme in her work. Over the past 30 years although she works with traditional photographic means Cole's approach and aesthetic has become closer to that of a painter. The artist's work focuses on a powerful narrative some with external motifs and others with intense figure transformations that alone tell the story. Cole's background in fashion and fashion editorial naturally leads to a process that channels her experience into creating a particular atmosphere with costumes and backdrops. Text in English and German.
