Connecting Dots and Knots
Marie Cole’s first solo exhibition in Oslo combines collaged, appliquéd and upholstered hanging textile works from her recent project Sensate Flow at Studio17 in Stavanger, with new pieces produced specifically for Kunsthall Oslo. The Sensates are a science fictional species, imagined by Cole in the tradition of Octavia Butler’s Oankali, to counter stereotypical portrayals of black female bodies.
