>Willie Cole’s art is best known for assembling and transforming ordinary >domestic and used objects such as irons, ironing boards, high-heeled shoes, >hair dryers, bicycle parts, wooden matches, lawn jockeys, and other >discarded appliances and hardware, into imaginative and powerful works of >art and installations. I saw some of his work the other day at the High museum. I found it very interesting because he uses found objects like shoes or irons to make art that mimics the patterns and color choices of tradtional african art. |
