Bucky and Fluff's Craft Factory
The 2001 Christmas Spice Tree
December 1 - 22, 2001
Lex Vaughn and Allyson Mitchell are Bucky & Fluff's Craft Factory and welcome you into their den.
Bucky and Fluff are self-taught mass-producers of cheaply priced, multi-medium imperfections melding kid culture and nasty adult reality. The work combines simple materials from sporey junkstores and value village finery: dollar store glitter glue, moldy magazines, match sticks, felt and tissue paper. Each and every piece on the Christmas Spice tree is an homage to Christmas worries and insecurities - aging, relations and addictions - wrapped in the charm of nostalgia for this "special time of year."
Some items you will find on the Christmas Spice Tree:
- Tiny Tears For Chrismas: bio-engineered stuffed animals that didn't make it out of Santa's workshop.
- Elves with a Habit: wood burnings of angry/evil elves with monkeys on their backs - you name it Sfrom pills to porn, syringes to sauce.
- Christmas Sucks: tiny gold stars etched with a concerned child and their corresponding christmas worry.
- B.J. in a Bun: Baby Jesus wrapped up in his swaddling dough ball with a side of lettuce.
- Piercings in the Retirement Home: wizened apple head dolls harkening back to their hey days at the Sanctuary.
- Xmas Turns Me On: Christmas balls that spark embers of desire in the loins of their beholders.
- And more....
A word from Bucky & Fluff:
"The whole philosophy behind the craft factory is about making art in our living room while we watch movies, sometimes crafting to the point of "craft back" when a heating pad becomes a part of our "studio". We are dedicated to luxurious and affordable art that makes people happy. Our factory produces films, stickers, pictures, postcards and anything else you can think of and we just can't stop. See us for factory franchise information."
