Artists: H - Z: Matthew Kucynski

I am interested in visually suggesting a narrative through the use of a variety of mediums. Influenced by children's pop-up books and religious icons, I make objects that represent events of a larger story with an imagined history. Through the use of fantasy and mystery, my work invites the viewer to participate in interrupting the stories that may lie within.

You're Apocalypse! explores a fictitious war within a ghost land known as The 8th Day of the Week. Inhabited by girls lost in their own fairy tales, it is invaded by intruders from the sky who are interested in stealing their secrets. In order to keep them safe they must use their radios and disconnected telephones to aid them in their defense.
