Mary Jo Bole
at Jose Drudis Biada Art Gallery/Mount St. Mary’s College
One does not necessarily equate tombs with toilets, or more metaphorically speaking, these two types of “evacuation” – one of the body, the other of the soul, yet Mary Jo Bole creates an exquisite, strangely metaphysical visual conversation between them that is alternately poignant, humorous, tender and grand. Using photographs, objects, glass mosaic, drawings and digital pigment prints respectively, Bole forges a formidable and incredibly imaginative visual legacy that seemingly unravels backwards and forwards in time, connecting her past with her future, her own life with that of so many powerful women who came before her.
