Description
Christopher Culver’s first monograph, Unhome, includes drawings from 2020 to 2024 that depict waning environments. The works index a specific historical moment, chronicling American life amidst the aftershocks of deindustrialization. As we traverse empty movie theaters and abandoned cityscapes, we encounter animals, angels, and apparitions. These figures sometimes play a role akin to that of Virgil in Dante’s Divine Comedy and guide us through the interregnum. Other times, they stand as solemn totems of stagnation. This rusted world, however, is not irreparably fallen. Tenderness filters through the debris.
