Ginger Anyhow has embroidered a series of romantic text messages received 02/06 to 04/07. Running through the photographs gives one a sense of the relationship’s rise and fall in a abstract but deeply intimate way. The act of stitching the conversations changes easily discarded text messages into poetic keepsakes. And the mixing of contemporary technology with a age-old craft is oddly gratifying.
He’s right. I clicked on a few at random but the emotional force, muted by the quiant expression, was compelling enough that I started over and read each one. A scrap of a woman’s face emerged. At the end, I felt a little sad, like I had watched something promising flare up and fade suddenly.
