I found this while being a nerd and poking around an online technology magazine. Ginger Anyhow takes old text messages from a previous romance and embroiders them into cute little swatches of fabric. I love the juxtaposition of the quick, distant, electronic nature of text messages with the carefulness and time that comes with embroidery. The series is chronological, beginning with happy texts and ending with their final text after a break up. Ginger Anyhow takes the electronic distance of of texts and gives them a sense of permanence through the use of thread and fabric, speaking to the lasting damage of a relationship gone wrong.
