Telephony

Telephony started as a conversation between friends about how technology has progressed, and generations who haven't had to text in T9, let alone remember rotary phones. Why not see if we can make a rotary phone that can text another rotary phone? As with most of my art, something that started as a silly idea has actually grown to represent so much more - difficulties in communication, relationships contingent and dependent on technology to bridge physical distance, and a fond nod to the days of playing Telephone in grade school.
