Your Ghost, Andrew Cole

This painting is part of a cycle dealing with a personal loss through death. The paintings themselves all relate to the sense of unreality, the numbness, that I have felt ever since receiving the news, with violent emotions roiling just beneath the haze. This specific piece links to the Kristen Hersch song 'Your Ghost', and the muted colours link directly to the idea of snow, fog or rain, and the feeling of being cut off from the outside world, with the memory of the loved one driving circles through and around the mind.

Fear Machine, Andrew Cole

This piece began as a series of abstract marks that suggested something both machine-like and organic. This began me thinking about humanity as organic machines, ones unfortunately ruled often by fear - not only fear of others, but also fear of self, of the other within.
