Nancy Cole, from Canada to ARTErra

This artist will stay with us for 3 weeks.

"I am a conceptual visual textile artist with a background in traditional quilting. The past five years have been an experiment in figurative and portrait installation work. My work thrives on interaction. It has been a unique interdisciplinary process that bridges visual arts, textile arts, installation, performance, and new media. Using a free motion sewing technique and hand quilting, I blend the immediate nature of interaction and mark making with meditative, introspective text. My work is thematically diverse.
I often select unconventional materials for my work and my choice to use a limited range of materials enhances my thematic process. I have addressed universal issues through my practice such as foreign adoption (My First Cousin Once Removed), the birth of Canadian culture (Smile the While), climate change (Storm Surge), the search for the God particle (Big Bang), as well as more personal matters such as serendipity (Our Two Paths Crossed), friendship (Postcard from Portugal).
I have been awarded numerous grants. and have exhibited extensively in Canada and abroad. I have shown work in Australia, Scotland, Ireland, England, Portugal and Lithuania. I am committed to the development of my practice and constantly seek new ways to engage and respond through it.
During my residency, I hope to find the one or two in a million (or 10.34 million to be precise...population of Portugal) to develop into a series of large figurative and portrait pieces that reflect the human spirit, its emotional resonance and the way it manifests in our relationship.
The notion of the graphic impulse, with its raw, immediate, and unflinching emotional extremes characterizes my work. Layered, and further developed into a textile, each stratum reveals itself as a visceral and emotional voice. I attempt to draw the viewer inward to experience an encounter with the subject. 
I plan to wander, meander and explore, armed with  BIC pens and sketch book. In search of the ones that will burn impenetrably in my mind.  The ones that will allow me in, for a brief moment. This temporality is central to my process. "
