Installation artist, painter and photographer, Portia Munson, joined me on the podcast to talk about her work with cast-off objects, cultural waste, and girl kitsch. Tune in to hear our conversation about her work's feminist and ecological themes. We also spoke about how the objectification of women persists...in objects. And how endless inspiration can be found simply by roaming around an antiques mall or a swap-shop. 
Portia has a few shows happening this Summer (2022) if you'd like to catch her work in person:
