Corie J. Cole
Since this past Fall I’ve been painting sunrises and sunsets on clay, and I’m playing a game with gender and politics. My new barrettes and brooches are tiny fashion statements of care and stewardship of the environment. In underglaze paintings on porcelain I capture skies and trees as documents of time and the Earth, in all its fragility. On the other hand, my “Broettes” and “Bro-oches” are a tease and try to document and reflect “Bro” culture at the absurd, cartoonish extreme it has become. In whose interest is it, really, that the performance of gender and politics is so polarized? Who is “man enough” to wear a brooch or a barrette? I want to poke fun at the rather dangerous chasm that ostensibly separates us culturally and politically.
