Tutor Profile:
Lucia Canuto
Lucia formally trained as a printmaker. Since graduating from the VCA in 2014, her work has expanded through the mediums of screen print, cyanotype, photography and drawing as well as experiments utilising both plant based and synthesised dyes. This process is somehow reminiscent of alchemy.
She is interested in language, translation and archival print materials; mainly newspapers and small publications. Her most recent body of work has been informed by Donna Haraway’s theory of Sympoiesis. That concerns itself with inter-species relationships and biodiversity.
Lucia is part of the Kunst collective who opened a community funded artist run initiative in Byron Bay last year, providing a space for local and interstate artists to exhibit.
