Heartstrings is about the suppression of the blacks during the periods of the 1950's-1960's within deep south America. This period gave birth to the delta blues. A poetic, honest and soulful musical movement. After listening and adoring new age blues musicians such as The White Stripes, The Greenhorns, The Black Keys and anything thats coming out of Nashville basically (especially Revival of Wanda Jackson, thanks to Thirdman Jack) inspired me a great deal to devote a whole collection to this musical movement that has grown from something so nostalgic and sentimental.
These images are only a small peek-a-boo. Toils made from scrap material and calico, they give an idea of where heartstrings is headed.
