Susan Cofer’s drawings may first appear to be shades of colors. But the Atlanta-based artist’s work invites the viewer to look much closer. An exhibit of her work, titled simply “Drawings,” is on view now at Poem 88.

Her drawings begin before she even picks up a pencil. Cofer starts with a large sheet of paper which she tears into smaller sheets.

“I don’t measure it,” she chuckles, “I’m incapable of that.”
