Bindi Cole / The Shelter Under the Shadow of His Wings
Have you ever heard God speaking to you? What did he say? What did his voice sound like? Was it like the gentle falling of a feather onto your shoulder whispering into your ear asking you to hear him? The world is changing. There is more noise. We are so busy. We are constantly striving for something. In the midst of all this, how do you discern the voice of God from the rest of the voices in your head and in the world? God is speaking to you. He has been all along. In a quiet still voice like the fall of a feather, he calls to you.

The feathers will be dropped from Theatrelab on 137 W 14th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues during the opening reception (Friday, September 30 6-9pm) and from 'Our Lady of Guadalupe' church on 328 W 14th Street on Saturday, October 8 between 4-5pm.

Bindi Cole works to expose the questions most are afraid to ask. The cathartic nature of Cole’s practice imbues her work with a gritty honesty. Her images are at times so personal the viewer’s experience can verge on voyeurism. Ever since she stepped into the South Eastern Australian Aboriginal arts scene as a portrait photographer in 2007, Bindi Cole has kept evolving her trademark style. Mixing portrait photography, painting, collage, text, weaving, film, performance, sound and projections, Cole’s work exposes the latent and unspoken power dynamics of Australian culture in the here and now. She subtly but powerfully reveals some uncomfortable truths about the fundamental disconnection between who we are - the communities and identities by which we shape our sense of self - and how the prevailing culture attempts to place and define us.
