About the ArtistArtist Mary Jo Toles has been working with experimental photographic processes since the early 1970s. She is best known for her long-term investigations of high-voltage imaging, which were originally inspired by her discovery of Kirlian photography, an obscure process discovered in Russia in 1939 which uses strong electric fields to create a photogram on a photographic plate. Toles completed a BFA in photography and design from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute Chicago. She is professor emerita at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
