Untitled (Duck or Chicken?), Jimmy Lee Sudduth, paint and mud on wood board
This is a black-and-white print of a seated figure with their head turned. They are wearing a headdress with feathers. The figure is sitting underneath a large serpent, made of small, horizontal dashes. There is a large sun pictured above the serpent. “El Indio y el Serpiente”, “1/20”, and the artist’s signature are below the print.
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.
