ALL HUCKED UP: GUNS, GALS, AND GORE IN AMERICA
One of the interesting things about Tom Huck’s work is that many of the images in his elaborate woodcut prints are indeed based on specific realities — they are horrifying but are not made up. Huck is a native Missourian, born and raised in Potosi, and he now lives and works in St. Louis where his Evil Prints shop is located. In this profile, Huck shares his connection to both the American narrative and to printmaking masters like Albrecht Dürer.
BRANCHING OUT
A tree is a forked system: borne from a single trunk, its branches and twigs can extend in all directions, far from the root of its origins. The exhibition currently on view in the central court at the Spencer Museum of Art plays with this concept of growth systems in alternately scientific, profound, and humorous ways. Taking as its common beginning the form of the tree, the works in the show explore themes extending to the outer reaches of natural beauty and human knowledge.
