Angela x Juliet Blehm
“Focusing on mother-daughter communication, my daughter and I landed on our love of vintage telephones for our art collaboration. She will be leaving for college in two years, and our communication—big news, sorrows, wins, juicy gossip--will be primarily through texts and convos on the amazing technology of our iPhones. It is about maintaining the intimacy through the distance. While a modern smartphone is sleek, we love the funk, flair, and variety of phones of yore. The clunky landlines are certainly ones I can remember, and they are foreign yet charming relics for my 16-year-old daughter. Wall-mount, princess-style, donut-shaped, there is a phone for every mood and we love that.” — Angela Chrusciaki Blehm
