modern kitsch light boxes 
These Danish modern-styled plywood light boxes illuminate translucent images of mid-century modern Americana. As emphasized in my artist's message, these light boxes are intended to preserve the memory of the gloriously swell designs of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s -- from finned cars and flat roofs to pin curls and stilettos -- from rusting metal signs to abandoned buildings all along Route 66, America's mother road.
The light boxes are designed and handcrafted in St. Louis, with the help of a generous and talented carpenter. They're battery-operated modern art, complete with retro toggle switches and historically accurate blonde plywood. Take a gander and contact me if you're interested in purchasing or commissioning a modern kitsch light box.
