Rachel Lynch: Apomogy
Nothing says you're sorry like a pom pom.
Overview
Nothing says you're sorry like a pom pom. If you haven't heard that saying before, don't worry. We might've just made it up, but we're simply following in Rachel Lynch's footsteps.
Since September 2015, Lynch has been the go-to gal for woollen tokens of apology after making her own, letting it loose on Instagram and watching the world take notice. Her fluffy balls of remorse inspired others to follow suit, resulting in an ongoing community art project and The Print Bar's Apomogy exhibition.
The former, like the underlying concept itself, is as straightforward as it sounds: all manner of people craft their own pom poms, attach their candid confessions, and then post them off to be included in the artwork. The latter showcases the project as it currently stands, complete with multi-coloured bundles and hand-scrawled notes galore, as well as workshops to help apologetic folks whip up their best creations. Who knew saying sorry could be so much fun?
