This week on the show, a conversation with artist Melissa Brown. Melissa's kaleidoscopic prints and collages draw on graphics from lottery tickets, playing cards and currency to explore questions of value and fantasy. I dropped by her studio to talk about dumpster diving for lottery tickets, something called a"Hexahexaflexagon" and what it's like to make a woodcut print with a steamroller.
