The Hole and Tombolo present Birdbath, a solo exhibition by Julian MacMillan featuring sixteen paintings and sculptures exploring the water's surface as a boundary between life and death. Anchored by the ancient Greek "Tomb of the Diver," the work follows loons, swans, and submerged figures across realms. The loon serves as psychopomp—soul conductor—a motif rooted in MacMillan's pandemic months on a Vermont lake. Charcoal and oilstick on burlap pulse with dark saturation, while stainless steel decoys flock around an eight-foot birdbath at the exhibition's center.
