| The series welcomes artist Dolores Coe. The title of his presentation is Field Notes & Tracks – In & Out of the Studio.
“I live and work on a riverbank, on a fragile coastline of powerful forces: blazing sun and saturated color, deterioration and generation, the randomly abandoned roots that don’t grow deep but spread and intertwine, the flatness, space, and always a horizon line—and endlessly fascinating humans. I work with visual parallels in creating paintings.” – DC.
In this conversation, Florida-based artist Dolores Coe will discuss a selection from her painting series and projects, tracing inspiration and ideas over time and highlighting the evolved processes and explorations. Included will be working from her new series of “child/hood/scapes,” a pandemic-fueled and inspired change. Woven into the mix will be the notion of the pivotal role of that “other thing,” familiar to most artists, that is crucial in informing studio works–and extends outward as a reciprocal, creative force.
For Coe, those “other things” include working along the banks of the Little Manatee River, building by hand a mountain cabin/studio photo documenting “Funky Florida,” poetry, and travel… and balancing her solitary practice in the studio with the privilege of engaging with others extensively in teaching, counseling, and collaborative roles over time, developing arts-based programs in art and non-art endeavors. |
