Descend into The Valley of the Home Depot!

The artist duo Mussratt spin the dystopian monotony of the American urban landscape into a scene populated by local anecdotes, creatures of legend and the subconscious. Row houses sit on cliffs still protruding from the Triassic extinction, where monoliths of corporate consumerism sprawl a new pestilence across the horizon. 

This is our Target, our Home Depot, our America, our landscape and our coping mechanism. 

Mussratt (Matt Barteluce and Russ Spitkovsky) spent a year drawing, carving and collaboratively printing this edition of woodcut prints published by Paper Crown Press.

“While walking in the woods last winter, my dog and I would often come around a bend and find ourselves face to face with some animal – maybe a squirrel, a deer, a rabbit, or a fox. Since no one felt threatened we all had the luxury of being curious. We’d stand there and study each other – sometimes for a few seconds, but other times for many minutes. These accidental encounters always stayed with me – “hello, what is it like to be you?”. 

In these prints I thought more about these inter-species encounters. I imagined myself a cow or a shore bird, coming into someone else’s territory. I meet one of the locals. We think about each other and wonder how it is to be something other than yourself.”

The image “Swallow” is part of a series of works exploring the event of a shipwreck. This image was drawn from an account of one of the surviving passengers.

On May 7, 1845, The Rockford Forum [From the Boston Atlas] reported on the heroic and self-sacrificing rescue of a Miss Cornelia Platt, of Detroit:

“When they [Mr. Jas A. Hicks and Miss Cornelia Platt] had been in the water for about half an hour, they saw a light approaching. It proved to be a boat coming to their assistance. Mr. Hicks called to the persons to hasten—and received in answer, words of encouragement to hold out a little longer—but, he said, it was impossible; ‘I was completely exhausted, and felt myself sinking.’ He debated in his mind, whether he should let go of the dory, or let her go. If he let it go, both himself and Miss Platt would certainly be lost. They both sank together—and went down. By extraordinary exertions, he kept her head above water an instant longer; and feeling himself sinking a second time as he heard the Captain’s cries from the burning sunken hull of the Swallow, “Can you hold on five minutes longer?”

 ‘Save her and let him go.”
