Opening of Kitsch: Craft So Bad That It’s Good
I had a fabulous time visiting the Alberta Craft Council with my mom last weekend for their first opening since the pandemic. It had a wonderful turnout. I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in twenty years, meet new friends, and talk all things Kitsch. Below is a short gallery of images taken at the opening.
winter 2022 artist showcase at The Canmore Museum
I am excited to have my work at The Canmore Museum Shop! I have loved following their community focused initiatives as they reimagine themselves and connect with local communities. I’ve read much of Nina Simons work and I look forward to seeing what an OF-BY-FOR ALL museum can do to transform museum relevance in the Bow Valley.
Exhibition! Kitsch: Craft So Bad That It's Good
Craft artists working in all traditional and contemporary craft media were invited to create their interpretations of kitsch craft; Craft that shares a knowing wink with the viewer, craft that wears kitsch on its velour sleeve as a rhinestone badge of honor, craft that’s appeal is found in its bad taste and ironic value.
