Bring the creativity of Willie Cole into your home or office with this exclusive reproduction of the Sole Sitter sculpture. Meticulously crafted in sleek black resin, this miniature stands as a testament to Cole's innovative use of everyday objects. 

Sculptor and conceptual artist Willie Cole is best known for assembling and transforming ordinary domestic and everyday objects into imaginative and powerful works of art and installations.

Just as African tribes of the Côte d’Ivoire employed humble, everyday materials to create fierce masks in the 19th and 20th centuries, Willie Cole assembled women’s shoes to create this icon of his own.

The Sole Sitter is based on principles of the religion of the Yoruba people in West Africa, in which specific deities are believed to lead worshippers to the gods. The sitter is waiting and hoping for a deity to come. The work reflects Cole's longtime interest in African art and culture, which he was first introduced to as a child growing up in Newark and visiting The Newark Museum of Art.
