Willie Cole
Totem
Willie Cole (b. 1955, Somerville, New Jersey, United States) lives and works in Mine Hill, New Jersey, United States. Totem is an anthropomorphic bronze sculpture cast from high heel shoes that become faces on each of its sides. Cole’s composite high heel sculptures are feats of perceptual engineering that comment on female power, cultural stereotypes, and consumerism.
