Spinneret draws inspiration from the eponymous silk-producing organ that spiders use to weave their webs. Anthony Cudahy's figurative paintings tenderly piece together enigmatic scenes of specific objects and equivocal environments from interwoven references drawn from queer archives, art history, film, poetry, friends, and autobiography.

Coinciding with Cudahy's solo exhibit at the Ogunquit Museum, this monograph spans the last half-decade of his career, including brand new work, and unpacks his richly layered artistic practice.

Organized by five artistic themes: allegory, people, space, slippages, and fragments, Spinneret captures the ongoing push and pull, conceptually and materially, across the artist's practice.
