For more than a half-century, Mary Mito (b. 1944, Hartford, CT; lives and works in New Mexico and New York) has rendered permeable interfaces between constructed and natural environments with a singular continuity of attention. While her rarely exhibited paintings are most often compelled by a relentless descriptive force conveying vast tracts of visual information, the terms of their format, structure, and medium are uncompromising, rule-bound, and precisely delimited. Painted over the span of six years, the ten spare, individual 28 x 42-inch oil on panel works comprising the exhibition’s titular series Sifts, restores (all works 2013-2019), draw from the artist’s 1966 activity and photographic archive of compositing a single mound of soil – terminating a closed loop between performative, photographic, and painterly operations. While Mito’s paintings thus enfold multiple strata of physicality and concomitant appearance, her immaculate pictorial and iconographic precision, furthered by a durational relationship to process, approaches a null value of embellishment such that her work suggests a state of unalloyed stylistic anonymity. Crucially, it does so without laying claim to a position of post-historical or post-ideological fatigue. Although Mito has continually avoided alliances with movements or groups of artists, the origin and execution of her works reflects a nuanced and manifold discourse that ranges across the studied austerity of the New Topographics compositions of Lewis Baltz, the intimately scaled meditations on mark-making and photographic verisimilitude resident in the drawings of Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha’s parodic extremes of deadpan typological recursion, self-determined rites of burial and exposure as evidence of artistic and bodily being in the work of Ana Mendieta...
