We wanted to kick off the season with this wild, funky, and vulnerable conversation with craft based artist Janie Stamm! We’re talkin motorcycle patches, Florida, gay line-dancing, crocodykes, theme parks, and the way in which Stamm lovingly preserves and communicates the intricacies of queer history and ecological erasure through her unabashedly kitschy, hyper-vibrant, prolific practice.
And, QuikTrip, if you’re listening, please stop ghosting her, we want the merch.
Check out her work on the gram @glitterpuppies or online janiestamm.com
