Lithuanian artist Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene applies floral and decorative patterns to unconventional objects. Instead of going for fabric, she sews cross-stitch patterns onto metal buckets, utensils, and car doors. Each chosen canvas is an attempt to subvert traditional embroidery culture, which is often associated with sweetness and sentimentality. Here, the hard edges and rusty metal balance the cozy appeal of stitched thread.

Introducing…

My Vapormac 99′

Earlier this year, I purchased an iMac G3 1st gen in Blueberry from a Mercari seller who either supplied deceptive photos or packed it poorly, and the polycarbonate shell was dislodged on the left side when I received it. I managed to pop it back into place with some difficulty, but it was all for not, as it turned on twice and then never turned on again.

I ended up going with Plan B (Plan A was to use it for a fic writing computer, like when I used to write on a crappy 80s Compaq Portable in Middle School during the early 2000s), completely gutting the hardware inside, hot-gluing the shell together. I wanted to use it as a real-life ode to some of the imagery of vaporwave and synthwave aesthetics, including a miniature bust of the David, a big palm tree, a neon-inspired LED Sunset, some MiniDiscs, and a strip of LEDs along translucent white screen frame. I also have a speaker in front of the disc tray area inside, and my old Zune wired into it with lots of mostly synthwave, vaporwave and lofi tracks, so it can play music.

I can’t say it’s *exactly* what I planned out, and I may add more to it in the future, but as someone who never had the entertainment and technology that I longed for as a child of the lower class (don’t be fooled, I still am), it’s nice to have this aesthetic piece in my room to enjoy.
