In this episode we're in conversation with Joe Bun Keo, a Cambodian-American artist, born in the US in 1987. Joe lives and works in Hartford, CT. 

Artist statement: english was my second language. i discover its nuances daily. i use materials from dollar, hardware, and thrift stores. the cheaply made kitschy aesthetic of mass-produced novelties and everyday utilitarian items serve as vessels to deliver eventual punchlines. when paired with a carefully crafted title, the work addresses reoccurring issues of debt, manual labor, parenthood, cultural identity and linguistics.
