Dopio Nodo by Lucia Canuto
MOM is very proud to bring you the debut publication from Lucia Canuto
The title in italian translates to Double Knot. There are many elements to Lucia’s process, including sifting through archival material, collaging, drawing and redrawing over and over. Language is always at the centre, as well as translation as a kind of play state. There is something spirited and spiritual in repetition. And it all comes alive when she’s talking with friends.
This book includes a group of people who have responded to Lucia’s work and she theirs during the past decade. Some of them visited her during a period she hosted artist residencies in Italy, and actually many of them became lifelong friends through this shared experience. Caitlin Mason and Ella Mittas have contributed photos from this memorable time together. Chi Tran and Lucia wrote to each other during that summer of 2017 and a little piece of the record is here in the book. Carlotta Phelan documented her flooded house studio in 2022. There is also some Psychic reporting from Anna Savage and Black Hole (who wrote horoscopes for the Nimbin Good Times and happens to be Luica’s dear friend's Dad). James Vinciguerra and Lucia often share drawings as they are working them out via sms, as well as far reaching conversations from the origins of cochineal red to their grandmother's different leaf litter collection methodologies. In 2020 Luci moved back to her hometown and re-met Nat Briggs, they first met when they were were 14. Nat responded through poetry to a body of work Lucia made called Seven Circles. You will find this poem in the book too. Friendship is the meat of life, and this little book is another way Lucia has found that can tie it all together.
