Make it Pop 

“I spent a large part of my college years in a photo booth and then the rest of my time making stuff with the pictures. This is a metal interpretation of one of my photo strips, 4 different settings, each with a photo booth shrink dink. Fold-formed copper. Prisma colors.”

Kirsten Denbow

Kitsch Me If You Can

“When I thought of "kitsch" I immediately thought of Pinky and Blue Boy. I actually bought a Pinky and Blue Boy print in a cheesy plastic frame about 8 years ago at a yard sale to hang in my studio. It's so bad it's good”

“I call this one "Like Me, Love Me."

“As a young student on the late 70th, I was super inspired by the 60th artists the "POP Art Artists". The art was minimalist with patterns and "strong" colors.
I made this pendant with inspiration of Robert Indiana.
