Description
-
Cole blends weaving methods with surrealist elements in this piece. The work depicts three cyclopes, mythological figures with one eye in the center of their foreheads, standing on a shore. Two of them are holding spears, while a meteor hurtles through the sky. The frowning faces of the figures add to the sense of impending doom.
