“The first thing I noticed when I looked at Azaceta’s latest work was how the distinctive shapes stayed in my mind,” remarks Rafael Esquer, who art-directed the catalog for Ambulatory. Esquer, of Alfalfa Studio, translated these impressions into the book’s visually and palpably enticing covers, turning out glossy blue (for the front) and black (for the back) embossed silhouettes of Azaceta’s plans that literally pop off the dark matte background. Between covers, the “intimate size of the book, the economy of its color palette and the subtlety of its typography” are engineered to “allow Cruz Azaceta’s works—paintings, drawings and collages—to tell their story in their own bold yet intricate voice.” by Taylor Lowe
