Max Cole’s artworks engulf the viewer in the infinite possibilities of the mind. Her practice is underscored by a sense of harmony and serenity produced through repetitive, freehand mark-making reminiscent of a hypnotic, spiritual chant. She spends hours diligently drawing precise lines, allowing her compositions time to unfold through her motions. Cole’s works can be seen as allusions to her childhood, recalling her time spent in the flat, expansive plains of the Southwest.
