About the Event
MAX COLE | THE BOUNDING CIRCLE
On view through October 10, 2021 at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art
The paintings included in The Bounding Circle were all created during an artist residency that Cole participated in in the mid-1990’s in Roswell, New Mexico, and were part of a show at the museum there at the end of her residency. Those included in this exhibition have not been shown since.

Roswell, not too far from Cole’s native panhandle region, was a bit like coming home.
The paintings in this exhibition show something of this transition – with darker works like Aeolus opening up…
