In her sculptures Carol Cole creates a duality in which what is new looks old, what is light appears heavy and what is ordinary seems extraordinary.
 
Her unique process involves creating an armature and covering it with a skin of freshly made sheets of handmade paper and heavily textured paper pulp.  She applies many thin layers of color to this surface to achieve an ancient-looking patinaed surface. The found objects are then incorporated into the sculpture. The work is object-inspired, meaning that the form and content of each piece is dictated by the found objects used.

Carol Cole's work is in many corporate and private collections. She maintains a large inventory of available sculpture in her spacious Philadelphia studio, and welcomes visitors. She also enjoys working on commissioned pieces tailored to the client's needs.

Prices range from $500 to $8000. Contact the artist for more information.
