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.

The Great Depression was almost 100 years ago and it serves as a reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same. It was during this era that our artist for the month, Elizabeth Olds, spoke against the injustices of society, empowered women, illuminated the ugliness of capitalism, and taught the next generation the importance of art and creativity.
How does one take all of this as a guide and alchemize it into their own piece?
Listen in as Amy and Chris talk about the book Amy ended up making, tackle the question 'what's poetry?', and muse about how they dislike the word 'networking' but recognize that connection is everything.
