Civil Rights Press Prints

Cole created this monumental print by embedding the perforated surface of an ironing board and twelve iron faceplates into a plywood sheet, flush to its surface. He then applied black ink to the whole and transferred the resulting image onto a sheet of white kozo-shi paper. The silhouetted image of the ironing board's surface resembles a historic slave-ship diagram, and the faceplate designs recall the facial scarification patterns worn by some tribal Africans.

The object is inspired by a traditional Kiowa parfleche, a type of container made from rawhide—deerskin that has not been tanned and is stiff. Some parfleches are flat, rectangular containers, like folded envelopes; the Kiowa traditional form is cylindrical. Hers is made of two hides—the interior is rawhide, giving the container its shape, and the exterior is soft, tanned deer-hide, onto which she has sewn the beads
