Willie Cole makes extensive use of readymade objects and found materials in his work, especially salvaged shoes, irons, and other consumer objects. This elegant sculpture made in 2020 from an assemblage of discarded high-heeled shoes, is one of Cole's most recent, and most mature examples of his distinctive method. The dreamlike, mirror-image form references African traditional sculpture, while combining Cole's interest in consumer culture, Pop imagery, and Surrealism.
