...Cuban-born, Boston-based artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons accosts her viewers with an accusatory solemnity. The way Campos-Pons looks out from her self-portraits reminds me of how Frida Kahlo stares out of hers; the two artists both use the self-portrait as a vehicle for complicated meditations on maternity, pain and nationality.
