Site-specific, interactive, outdoor sculpture.

The word “sorry” is constructed from a series of modular frames arranged to create small rooms for contemplation. The outdoor sculpture functions as an armature for seating and interchangeable, suspended artworks. Viewers navigate the spaces between letters, tracing the word with their movements. Text is legible only from above. LOCATION: Private residence/open desert landscape along a highly trafficked flight pattern for planes and helicopters. Installation scheduled for valley-wide, collaborative community exhibition Every Day is Earth Day : Form, Space, and Vision, 2024. https://www.cccole.com/everyday-is-earth-day

Cece Cole examines themes of phenomenology, nature, and ecology in her site-specific installations and sculptural drawings. Intrigued by simulated environments driven by utopian ideas, Cole transforms economical and temporal materials into experiential works that evoke moments of wonder and contemplation.

In her series, Geodes (1-2), Cole culls materials from a collection of cut drawings and digital photographs generated in her studio practice. Her compositional strategies are informed by decorative and design practices. Layers of shapes, color, transparency with histories of mark-making, pattern, and imagery resemble fragmented rock formations, terrestrial ecosystems, or grotto-esque vignettes.

Cece Cole holds an MFA from the University of Iowa. She currently lives and works in Arizona.
