“When I was a<br />
student, porcelain<br />
was associated<br />
with kitschy<br />
souvenirs or stupid<br />
mugs but recently a<br />
new wave of ideas<br />
has revived the<br />
material and placed<br />
it in a different<br />
context.”<br />

“Kitsch is definitely<br />
part of Eastern Europe.<br />
During socialism, there<br />
just wasn’t choice<br />
available on the market.<br />
Many people had<br />
weekend homes in the<br />
country where they would<br />
make these things.<br />
I focus on 3D objects that<br />
are called kitsch and also<br />
on the DIY phenomenon.”<br />
