Cole Thompson 
 “Vision, Passion, and Projects”
Self-Portrait on a Train in Alaska, 2019

In his presentation, Cole will be talking about how he creates projects and why, and the critical role of Vision and Passion. He'll also speak about:
  • Where his ideas come from.
  • Why a good idea isn't enough.
  • How he creates projects.
  • His least favorite type of portfolio.
  • The project you should give up on.
  • The rules for creating a project.
Cole is known for many remarkable projects - Melting Giants, The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Monoliths, and Harbinger, to name a few. As Cole says, “I'm seriously hooked on portfolios! And…what I have learned is that all my portfolios have two ingredients in common: Vision and Passion.”
