In fact, the Catholic iconography is all over the place, pimps on its Medieval pomp and circumstance.

The work is rich visually and conceptually and is worth whatever effort it takes to see it. December Gallery Hours: Sundays, noon – 3 p.m.; the show runs until Dec. 30. Da Corte, a recent UArts grad, has another show coming up in June at Space 1026.
