Crystalle Lacouture is an artist whose works use symbols to represent care and thoughtful transmissions of power to others. Often her systems-based projects focus on marking time and the notion that the artist has a unique role as helper and gift-maker. Lacouture works across the media of painting, drawing, and printmaking to explore ideas of feminism, motherhood, portable memories, and the devotional, often using diaristic, durational, or communally-oriented practices. Her recently launched mail art initiative to create a crowdsourced repository of the popular songs passed down through generations can be found at lullabyarchive.com. She is represented by Praise Shadows Gallery in Boston.
Her time as a resident at Surf Point in April 2021 had a profound and lasting impact on her current body of work. She credits the immersive time to explore, ruminate, and research in a place of profound beauty and history to be a turning point in her practice. The greatest gift for an artist is time. - Crystalle Lacouture ‘21
