Santiago Cucullu Prints
The Archivists Labor of Love, Natty Dress Until the End and A Carved Breakfast Nook in the Style of 1950s American Baroque Furniture are three new diptychs from Highpoint Editions. The three Ukiyo-e style woodcuts, measuring 22 inch x 18 inches each, mimic an open book. Each panel suggests flashes of memory or historical snapshots reflecting the artist’s imagination, personal travel experiences and inspiration from television and works of fiction. Cucullu's work (which he has referred to as a "visual mixed tape") frequently comments on how autobiography is filtered through collective experience, and these new prints continue his exploration and collaging of memory.
