“In one series, Bool takes inspiration from Le Corbusier’s erotic drawings by overlaying his plans for the capital city of Algiers onto Orientalist postcards circulating at the time featuring North African women as exotic sex objects. In another work, a large-scale tapestry titled The Weather, Bool presents a view from the interior of Mies van der Rohe-designed Farnsworth House that is embroidered with ornamentation that imbues the angular image with a sense of femininity, disrupting the austerity of materials such as glass and steel that are often associated with masculine power. ”
