It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up.

She has pioneered the style of book making called "couture textile books," combining precision and intentionality of design with bold experimentation and abstraction. Over the past fifteen years, Coley has merged couture sewing techniques with embroidery and poetry in her art. Her fine art textile books are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution (National Museum of African Art Library), The Folger Shakespeare Library, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;">Her project <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">Love Sonnets from Shakespeare to Baltimore</i>, a series of couture textile books that include quilting, Shakepeare's sonnets, printmaking, and bookbinding, was supported with a Rubys 2020 grant by the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation. The historian of the African American Quilters of Baltimore, Coley created a two-volume book documenting the members' quilting styles, aesthetic sensibilities, needle techniques and histories. She is a 2023-2024 Folger Shakespeare Library Fellow and a 2023-2024 Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) Fellow.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;">Can thoughts, emotions, and experiences be preserved and contributed for the collective benefit of humanity? Well-known literary tools have been used to pass human experience through the ages. Livre d’Artiste, or book arts, is one of the counterpart art forms that can be used for this purpose.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><i style="box-sizing: inherit;">Love Sonnets from Shakespeare to Baltimore</i> employs a broad range of visual arts tools and the cultural depth of Shakespeare's sonnets to examine the universal aspects of human life. In this talk, she will draw parallels between the seemingly simple structure, yet rich content, of Shakespeare’s sonnets and the design decisions throughout the books.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />To gain more insight from this talk, an interested audience member is encouraged to read (out loud!) Shakespeare Sonnets 55 and 138 ahead of time.

The symposium will demonstrate the diversity and range of contemporary book arts and book history. Coley’s work uses second-hand African, American, and African American textiles to explore gender, race, and memory through the creation of exquisitely sewn, embroidered, and printed books.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;">For more information please visit: <a href="https://calendar.uga.edu/event/symposium_on_the_book_-_faculty_panel_with_featured_guest_jennifer_low">UGA faculty panel with featured guest Jennifer Low</a> and <a href="https://www.english.uga.edu/booksymposium">Symposium on the Book: Unbinding Book History</a>. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.44px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>I am so excited to be part of this symposium and I hope you can join us!</b></span></span></p></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><p> </p>Baltimore Sonnetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835578044145978853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-321166117873700740.post-57618622834905081062023-08-17T16:00:00.001-07:002023-08-17T16:00:00.151-07:00Oxford University<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5E6hd6yXL2MEQ_1qCycia9e6CJxgaR6Mwiye4wMP_wECZsN5-GfFatA0mtIszisgRCKg8QD1ZfdYhByRsqKlx6UBm2-M7_NuLEvMpzkLnzJ0Ieev47hPyOS-GafqZV6uq_fmB4XuD2LjFOs_fBjJ26uw5M8m8IcUS1u4scS3OhYqYqNiuO5Q3mSdsSZA/s3232/ScholaMetaphysicae.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2424" data-original-width="3232" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5E6hd6yXL2MEQ_1qCycia9e6CJxgaR6Mwiye4wMP_wECZsN5-GfFatA0mtIszisgRCKg8QD1ZfdYhByRsqKlx6UBm2-M7_NuLEvMpzkLnzJ0Ieev47hPyOS-GafqZV6uq_fmB4XuD2LjFOs_fBjJ26uw5M8m8IcUS1u4scS3OhYqYqNiuO5Q3mSdsSZA/w400-h300/ScholaMetaphysicae.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: #1b1b1b; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;">O, wonder!</span></span></i></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRo3dP7T9OVyP9l7D56g6Mz1dI2FTSahc-tOGtPzUJ6skSBHS8VKYQbTsMIcuhf5nVtAp3zOw0JVhcqcSwwizOwftBO9bWpMZ7scFMgSuGumh87qnW9H2DGbZkciZjpNCXXxFtxX299i8hJL4WF-VVtzWmDLMLY8bcSVjB4-lJSOvnioc-bHa6RxHIeg/s3232/TempestMetalType.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2424" data-original-width="3232" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRo3dP7T9OVyP9l7D56g6Mz1dI2FTSahc-tOGtPzUJ6skSBHS8VKYQbTsMIcuhf5nVtAp3zOw0JVhcqcSwwizOwftBO9bWpMZ7scFMgSuGumh87qnW9H2DGbZkciZjpNCXXxFtxX299i8hJL4WF-VVtzWmDLMLY8bcSVjB4-lJSOvnioc-bHa6RxHIeg/w400-h300/TempestMetalType.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><br data-reader-unique-id="62" style="caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: #1b1b1b; max-width: 100%; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: #1b1b1b; text-align: start;">How many goodly creatures are there here!</span><br data-reader-unique-id="63" style="caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: #1b1b1b; max-width: 100%; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: #1b1b1b; text-align: start;">How beauteous mankind is!

Possibly around 750 copies of what is know known as the <i>First Folio </i>were printed, securing Shakespeare's legacy as a playwright.
