Goggins
Goggins is an attempt at post-kitsch surrealism. In crafting it, the artist has attempted to find the line in the sand where kitsch meets up with more traditional or serious art. The piece begs the question of whether a kitsch piece of artwork can be "saved" or reeled back in from its own kitschiness.
