The project is a continuing one, with swatches being sent to far-flung locations. Following is an excerpt from Ms. Danko’s satement about the Pink Gingham Project.

For several months throughout the winter, these small gingham swatches with iron-transfer drawings were left in various locations around Pittsburgh. Many interfaced with the rivers throughout the region. They were intended as impermanent, fleeting gestures. Several have been given to students to photograph. And several more have been mailed to various individuals; their photographs constitute part of an ongoing archival compilation. Maura Doern Danko
