AHI!!
Sofferenza: testa di uomo costruita con calzature femminili.
"Voglio che siano un legame tra i mondi... siamo negli Stati Uniti, ma questa é un'opera artistica che sembra provenire da un'altra cultura e un'altra era nonostante i materiali utilizzati siano strettamente americani".
Willie Cole
[Metropolitan Museum Of Art]
OUCH!!
Suffering: man's head assembled with women's shoes.
"I want them to be links between worlds…. You live in the U.S. but here is a piece of art that looks like it is from another culture and another time, even though the materials in the work are strictly American."
