Exhibition Details

Bole (Columbus, OH) is a collector and researcher seeking the underbelly of her part of the world. In her recent drawings, prints, sculptures, and an upcoming first-person documentary film, she explores her family’s industrial history and the lineage of women who preserved it. Bole is a product of a faded Victorian culture experienced in an equally fading Cleveland; her experiences are filtered through the counter-culture and the punk scene from her youth and Lake Erie.
