Postcard snapshots of knickknacks for tourists are created in a specific style.
The products of such an aesthetic might be described by others as ‘tat’, but in actual fact, they only exist because some punters are moved to buy them.
There will be others who choose to purchase items that promise to be ‘authentic’ or ‘rootsy’. Possibly in fewer numbers.
Where does an artist’s work fit into this picture?
Maybe the idea of ‘fitting in’ is where the problems begin.
