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.

Although the florals and recipes of The Voynich Manuscript served as sources of inspiration for Amy’s final project this month, it was ultimately the indecipherability of the text that spoke the most.
The fact that it can’t be decoded by modern humanity means it remains pure and lives on in unknown ways. But what about texts we do understand? How does our continual reading and adaptations of these texts affect the original intent?
It ultimately begs the question: are we just living in a giant game of telephone?
