Archive Label 2003: Huck acknowledges the influence on his work of the various woodcut series by the Renaissance printmaker Albrecht Dürer. In his own series of prints, Two Weeks in August, Huck details fourteen “stranger than life” stories from the environs of the small town of Potosi, Missouri. The tabloid-like intrigue of these images is given considerable authority by the earnest industry of their craftsmanship; Huck carves with hand tools and these large woodcuts were printed with a wooden spoon, not a press.
