THERE WILL BE NO MIRACLES HERE.....


Josie: Hello there again darling artists who are all so very clever....It has been such a long, eventful week for me and I am utterly exhausted, hope you all are doing ok!! Oh is it just me or is life is getting busier and I find myself running out of time for a lot of things...but i did manage to find a good article this week that like i said last week, someone that I actually like their work!
Nathan Coley....Mount Stuart from Sculpture (july/august 06, vol.25, no.6, pg. 15). This is just a couple of short paragraphs about Mr. Nat. Coley who explores architecture, symbolism, ideology and faith in his sculptures. The picture in the journal is what appealed to me, as it is what we did this week- using text as art...so here we are guys!!
"There will be no miracles here"....just that text simply put and illuminated in an foresty environment....I think that sounds very beautiful and to me is very thoughtprovoking...don't you all think? So I looked up more about Mr. Nat Coley and found that he explores visibility and invisibility in many of his works. Do all take a look. His work I found is very subtle and not as mainsteam as the Ricky Swallows and those dudes, but beautiful none the less. His works that were created for a place named Mount Stuart also have referencing to to the world's three main religions; Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. ( I thought I'd just add those in...) Personally I am not religious....although the subject is somewhat extremly powerful and has a lot of ground in today's society- obviously hence artists such as Mr. Nat Coley incorporating such themes in his work.
Do all cheak him out, Mr. Nathan Coley is the name..( abb. to Mr. Nat Coley I think sounds a fair bit cooler...hahaha). Good luck with things this week darlings:) Btw- sorry I accidently posted mine 3 times last week, Im not good with computers, hopefully it works beta for me now...ha!
Over and Out Roger;)
