    Amy Cutler
    Crutchfield, Margo (Virginia Tech. Moss Arts Center, 2016-15-09)
    Amy Cutler’s drawings, prints, and gouache on paper paintings portray a wildly imaginative and enigmatic world in which groups of women, seemingly from an imaginary or bygon era, carry ridiculous loads, weave and braid interminable lengths of hair, and otherwise engage in traditional but essential “women’s work” in utterly preposterous situations.
