![A closeup of the Italian artist's 2016 work Putiferio. According to a press released issued by the Show, this word "translates from Latin as “to bring out the odors of hell.”" In addition, it was "developed as a commission for The DESTE Foundation on the Greek island of Hydra...[and] utilized inventive firing processes in self-made kilns heated to nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius. Using a modified three-dimensional printer, Cuoghi hotographically scanned crabs bought from the local supermarket to create ceramic prints, then experimented with countless firing techniques in order to create variations in the color, glaze, and texture of his sculptures."

According to the ADAA Art Show in a release, “Ether en Flocons
(2016–18) is an installation comprised of ten birds made of agar-agar and pork gelatin. Each bird is derived from the same mold—an enlarged, dead red-breasted bird—in which Cuoghi pours his substance and waits for it to solidify. Bacteria and mold develop over time as the bird is left vulnerable to the elements and further transformed by the natural environment.” (photo by Asya Gorovits / Meniscus Magazine)
