BEAUTY: Papier-mâché--Bernie Kaminski

Artist Bernie Kaminski's chosen medium is papier-mâché, and he creates delightful artifacts from the 70s and 80s...and I recall them all. I really love his medicine cabinets and the sight of a can of Arrid Extra Dry (with the cheesy silhouette of a man and woman facing each other) and a box of Contact cold pills (with the graphic of a magnifying glass on a capsule) fills me with tickling nostalgia. I also really  love the Tektone home intercom (we never had one in our homes, but I had lots of friends who had them mounted on the walls of their bedrooms), the Princess phone, and the Brim coffee cup ("Fill it to them rim...with Brim!")


Bernie Kaminski does not have a dedicated webiste but he has an IG page:
