“This quilt was made at the time smartphones and blackberries were new and exciting. It was quite the status symbol to have the apparatus casually resting by one's elbow on a restaurant table. I run a workshop and tour to Tuscany every year; I thought it was amusing when two tourists at a table nearby had finished dinner and, seemingly, after many years of having said everything there as to say to each other (and nothing left to say) they had their smartphones readily at hand to tweet and text the rest of the world telling all what they ate and where they ate it…but not necessarily having much to say to each other. Ergo, “Incommunicato’ which in Italian means not communicating.”
