Since the early 1980s, she has channeled her appreciation for the camera itself. She is dedicated to the history of photography by deviating from automatic cameras and techniques. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Cole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e uses photography to play with notions of time, place, and identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her numerous series, \u003cb\u003eCole \u003c\/b\u003eoften asks the questions: how do you paint an image of timelessness? How do you capture the feeling of weightlessness in an image? Her ethereal photography takes on a quintessential painterly quality, with the transformation of figures a predominant theme in her work. Over the past 30 years, although she works with traditional photographic means, \u003cb\u003eCole's \u003c\/b\u003eapproach and aesthetic has become closer to that of a painter. The artist's work focuses on a powerful narrative, some with external motifs and others with intense figure transformations that alone tell the story. \u003cb\u003eCole's\u003c\/b\u003e background in fashion and fashion editorial naturally leads to a process that channels her experience into creating a particular atmosphere with costumes and backdrops.
