Darlene Cole
MAGNOLIA MEMORY
The magnolia tree and the fi gure are recurring threads
in the artist’s work. In fact, Darlene Cole has a map
in her brain locating particular magnolia trees that
she visits each spring; some are at farms, others in
historic neighbourhoods. Cole sees fragility coexisting
with strength and interconnectedness in the trees,
and wants viewers of this piece to experience their
haunting beauty with a new emotional connection.
