Posted on May 10, 2025 by JMN

Commenting on consumerism, Ms. Garner came up with a host of flagrantly unnecessary gadgets and accessories, including “Tongue-Texting,” pencil on paper. Credit… Courtesy of the artist, Matthew Brown and STARS.

“I tried to set an example that nobody else can follow.”

(Pippa Garner)

A one-off slogan printed on her T-shirt series called “Shirtstorm” was “These Are My Remains.”
