The story
- Inspired by
- “Grey Street,” a 2002 song about someone stuck in a colorless life who dreams of painting the whole world over, only to find that mixing all her colors together gets her right back to grey. One of the most loved songs in its band’s catalog.
- Translated as
- The song’s paint problem, solved in thread. Three bands of red, gold and blue converge into one grey road with cream center dashes, which runs straight to a thin silver horizon. Read it top to bottom and the grey comes apart into color; read it bottom to top and the colors give up and go grey.
- Made as
- Six thread colors (brick red, gold, slate blue, cream, silver and grey, which is what you get when you mix the first three) on a charcoal performance cap with perforated side panels. Production-quality flat embroidery.
