Willie Cole is best known for assembling and transforming ordinary domestic and used objects such as irons, ironing boards, high-heeled shoes and other discarded appliances and hardware, into imaginative and powerful works of art and installations. Cole’s widely recurring symbolic and artistic object that was initially brought to the attention of the art world has been the steam iron. While Cole’s unique approach of imprinting the steam iron’s marks on a variety of media result in a wide-ranging decorative potential of his scorchings, they are also to be viewed as a reference to his African American heritage.
