Thread City

graphite on paper, 5"x 7"
Here is a piece I was working up for my friends' band Thread City. (They have since broken up and reformed into Waking Elliot.) Thread City had formed during our college years at ECSU. The town ECSU is in was famous for its, now defunct, thread industry. So they named the band in homage to where they all met. When I was working on this I wanted something that would work with their name but also had an almost surreal twist. I chose to replace a girl's brain with thread. This not only is an obvious connection to the band name but it also suggests that the music is infectious and memorable- since she has it "on the mind." ::groan::
