Walk into a Kinko’s to use a copier…but make it art? That’s exactly how this month’s artist, Pati Hill, got her start—through xeroxing everyday household objects.
What started as the role of family historian, turned into framed pieces on gallery walls. Why objects? Why a photocopier? And what makes something appeal beyond the reach of our own homes?
Listen in today as Amy and Chris talk about using unconventional tools, finding creativity in the constraints, whether photocopies make for good art, and if objects might actually have a life of their own.
Amy Elizabeth is an artist and film photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. She runs the group The Art Lab for creatives who want to connect and push forward in their artistry. She is also the owner/operator of Film Lab 135, a bespoke lab dedicated to processing experimental film, specializing in film soup. You can find her on Instagram, substack, and bluesky @itsamyliz.

We asked you to ask away and you did! Well, actually, you sent statements more than actual questions, but we turned them into questions and answered them here. (Okay, so we only got through a couple, but it's a start!)
On this episode, Chris and Amy cover how to start, how to finish, and the one word that's the key to it all. Whether you're tackling personal work or a client project, this conversation is meant to encourage and motivate you along the way.
