Ironing boards, hair dryers, plastic bottles, and shoes play starring roles in the sculpture of Willie Cole. In his bronze sculpture The Sole Sitter on the Museum grounds, high heels bend and blend to form a lone pensive figure. On Thursday, November 4 at 6 PM, Cole and poet Jenny Browne discuss church ladies, fatherhood, activism, and artmaking at the McNay. This program is included with Museum admission. Join us for the conversation!Willie Cole lives and works in New Jersey and his art has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Miami Art Museum, and the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland. In 2021, Cole collaborated with Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo on collection of headpieces for her Fall/Winter collection for Commes des Garçons.
